Yea, I can understand why. I tried Calibre and it gave me "Memory Error".

But still, thank you for taking the time to explain to me. Appreciate it.

With gratitude,

You might try calibre. I don't know if it will do any better on dictionaries.

But more than likely, anything that claims to convert/unpack mobi files/dictionaries is probably based on calibre or KindleUnpack code (and thus the same limitations). And a lot of the mobi stuff in KindleUnpack was ported from the older Perl-based Mobiperl project. Somebody blasts though every now and again with high hopes of creating a C/C++ or C# version, but I'm not sure if anyone has a fully-functional alternative yet.
