This is the README for the collection of CEDICT tools developed

If you are missing some files, or want to check for newer versions,
you can go to http://www.cam.cornell.edu/hiebeler/home.html and follow
the link to my "Chinese resources" or something obvious like that.

Also, you can send me an e-mail at hiebeler@cam.cornell.edu and
request to be notified when new versions of these programs are
available.  I promise I won't send any other junk e-mail.  (Believe
me, I hate e-mail spam).  And I doubt I will make updates very often,
unless a pretty serious bug turns up.
