Dictionary Documentation: DictFI (release 1) Presentation DictFI is a Finnish dictionary with more than 24000 words, for the Newton MessagePads. It works with 2.x devices (MP120/2.0, MP130, eMate, MP2000, MP2100 and compatible clones). It has been built by Paul Guyot, but the actual word list has been compiled by Harri Hohteri. Installation Installation is done like any other package. Refer to the Newton manual or to the installer software manual for more information. The dictionary is compressed on the Newton while being downloaded in order to use less storage memory. Use There is no specific use of it. Once installed, all the softwares including the handwriting recognizers will use this dictionary. However, it can be disabled by freezing the package. Change History This is the first release of the package. 21/02/2001: Initial release. Technical Information The dictionary uses the standard OS dictionary part handler. This was never documented by Apple as far as I know, hence use with caution. The memory use is independant from the dictionary size and is very limited. The dictionary is decompressed at will by the memory manager of the Newton OS. Technical Support There is no technical support for this software. However, you can still submit requests to: .
