This is truely great news!

So glad you've heard the users' requests for example sentence integration.
Jim Breen's dictionary now links all entries to the ALC database so this may be another possiblity.
I use both the Tanaka Corpus and ALC daily.  Both are huge databases that are very helpful and useful.
I'm surprised more developers have not recognized the tremendous potential of utilizing them.

Greetings fellow Stackz users!

Last year over the course of a few months, using kanjibrowse utilities I created a study set for the complete jouyou kanji list.? The set consists of 39 files of 50 lessons each (45 in the last).? Each lesson contains all the vocabulary tagged common usage by edict for that particular kanji.? As well, I created a supplementary file for vocabulary containing non-jouyou kanji that are also tagged common usage.? I did this by manually individually analyzing about 7000 kanji and collecting the vocabulary results produced by the dictionary.? In total I'd estimate there are about 20000 words separated into individual kanji vocabulary lessons.

I'm very pleased with how this project turned out, and use it frequently.? My main goal when creating this, was to have a system where I could either focus on one kanji at a time, or many if I wanted.? I limited the lessons to words tagged common usage to keep the file size manageable and practical.? Currently I don't have the files uploaded anywhere, but if anybody is also interested in using these files, feel free to message me your email address, and I can send the set to you in a zip file.? Also, MindDate staff is welcome to host the set for public usage if they are interested in doing so.

Best to you all with your studies.

I'd like to utilize the J_Places dictionary file in Kanjibrowze, but I can't seem to find a way to extract the .gz file into a usable format on Windows XP.   I've tried four different utilities (including Gunzip and Winzip) to try and do this, but still no success.

Anybody know how to get this to work?
