SYNOPSIS

       ydpdict [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

       ydpdict  is  an  ncurses interface for English-Polish and Polish-English Collins dictionaries, as well as
       German-Polish and Polish-German Langenscheidt  dictionaries,  which  are  distributed  by  Young  Digital
       Planet.

       ydpdict  tries  to  load  the  configuration  file from the following locations (reads only the first one
       found):

       ydpdict searches for dictionary files in current directory and /usr/local/share/ydpdict.

       Pronunciation samples are read from /media/cdrom by default. To play samples of both english  and  german
       words, one shall create en and de subdirectiories with respective content.
