I recently inherited a m105 Palm (Palm OS software 3.5.3) and thought it would be nice to have an Irish-English dictionary on it. I found a Palm data base (pdb file) for an Irish-English dictionary, but can't seem to find a simple program to run it. Is an m105 too old/weak to run a dictionary program? If not, do you know of any inexpensive (or free) dictionary program that could be loaded onto my machine?

Go raibh maith agat,

Dennis

Mar eolas duit a Dennis.
Mórán mar a chéile a bheas an foclóir seo, is dóigh, leis an gceann nár oscail duit roimhe seo.

Ag an seoladh seo :

http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/liosta/gaeilge-b/FAQ.html#Computer_software

fuair mé an méid seo a leanas :

4.2.Computer software
The most useful pieces of software around for the advanced learner have to be Gléacht's Dictionary, (and Dr. Ó Duibhinn's GAELDICT
corpus.)

Gléacht's dictionary, a version of Niall Ó Dónaill's Focloir Gaeilge-Bearla, runs on MS-DOS only and is available from

Professor Cathair Ó Dochairtaigh
Department of Celtic
Glasgow University
Scotland

(Dr. Ó Duibhinn's GAELDICT is a searchable database of texts by well-known authors (mainly from Donegal), and is available at
http://www.ceantar.org/Comp/soft.html)

Ag an seoladh eile seo
http://www.geocities.com/Paris/3437/odon.html

tháinig mé ar an méid seo a leanas:

O Donaill - Léirmheas

Niall O Donaill, 'Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla'
O Donaill is - for the moment - the definitive Irish - English dictionary, published in 1977.

ISBN 1-85791-038-9 - the hardback edition.

....

... O Donaill is also available in a computerised version (DOS only) which allows it to be also used as an English-Irish dictionary.
The company who put the database of the dictionary together is

Gléacht corp.
box 1525
Minden, NV 89423 USA

The cost is around 70-80 US dollars and is currently only available as a
DOS program (IBM compats).
No Mac version - yet. If you own a Mac, you might be interested in some of EGT's Irish language software for the Macintosh. Check out Everson Gunn Teoranta at this url

Gach bua is beannacht.
