+This file describes how to build dictionaries for the various versions
+of Crosswords.
+
+Short version:
+
+For a Palm dictionary, type:
+
+# make -f Makefile.BasEnglish TARGET_TYPE=PALM
+
+which will create BasEnglish2to8.pdb.
+
+For a Franklin or Wince or Linux dictionary, type  
+
+# make -f Makefile.BasEnglish TARGET_TYPE=FRANK
+
+which will create BasEnglish2to8.seb and BasEnglish2to8.xwd.saved.
+
+The .seb file is for the eBookman, and is just a wrapper around an
+.xwd file.  Unwrapped .xwd files are for Wince and Linux versions of
+Crosswords.  Remove the .saved from the end of the filename.  It's
+only there because I haven't figure out how to stop the build system
+from deleting .xwd files after making .seb files out of them.
+
+
+
+English is unusual in having multiple dictionaries.  In most language
+directories there's only one, and so only one Makefile.  So you skip
+the -f option to make.
+
+The 2to8 part of the name is a convention meaning that only words from
+2 to 8 letters long are included.  2to8 is the default, but you can
+explicitly use a different target and the build system will adjust what
+words are included.  For example 
+
+# make -f Makefile.BasEnglish TARGET_TYPE=FRANK BasEnglish2to5.xwd
+
+will produce an even smaller dictionary for Wince and Linux.
