Dictionaries

LAMPWords requires a dictionary database file which it uses to find words. You can choose the dictionary file to suit your needs and your Palm's configuration.

Dictionaries are distributed as standard .PDB files which you install to your Palm in the same way as any other application or database.

Dictionary Database Files

NOTE:  All dictionaries (except ODS4) were updated May 5th, 2007.

For an explanation of how the TWL2, CSW1, and CSW1-DD dictionary categories work, please see this file.
