DESCRIPTION¶

This command converts a dictionary from text format into binary format.

outfilename is the name of the binary format dictionary. If outfilename is not given, the output will be passed to the standard output device(stdout).

The input file may be piped in by using the "<" command. For example,

catod basic.dic < basic.u

"basic.dic" here is the output binary format dictionary, while the "basic.u" is the input text format dictionary.
