The files contained herein are designed to convert various databases
into working databases and indices for the DICT server.

The original data is available from:

hitchcock: ftp://ccel.wheaton.edu/ebooks/HTML/bible_names/bible_names.txt

[*] FOLDOC is updated nearly every night, so the version here is bound to
be out of date.  If you can't find the term you're looking for, please
update the database or visit the FOLDOC home site:
        http://wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk/

This package contains conversion software and a copy of the original data.

PROBLEMS:

If the problem is with the programs, you should contact me, Rik Faith
(faith@cs.unc.edu).  Patches or suggestions are always welcome, but my time
is limited and I might not reply to your email immediately.  If its many
years after 1998, faith@acm.org might be a better alternative address.
