Dictionary Files

New QuanPin and New ShuangPin share two dictionary files: PyCiku.dat and Ud.Ciku.dat. In the zh_CN.EUC and zh_CN.GBKlocale, the default path names are /usr/lib/im/locale/zh_CN/data/PyCiku.dat and /usr/lib/im/locale/zh_CN/data/UdCiku.dat.

Users cannot normally write to these files. However, since users can affect the way New QuanPin and New ShuangPin work through features such as frequency adjustment and user-defined phrases, it is necessary to update the dictionary files frequently.

A user's dictionary is normally located in ~/.Xlocale/PyCiku.dat or ~/.Xlocale/UdCiku.dat (~ indicates the home directory of the user who starts the htt command). When New QuanPin and New ShuangPin are started, they locate and read the dictionary files in the user's home directory. If a dictionary file is not found, the system default path is used (that is, /usr/lib/im/locale/zh_CN/...).
