Hi HerbD,
congratulations for willing to delve into the hell of dictionaries for ereader
I strongly suggest you to open another thread (moving there the post above), so your project might get more attention than being buried here, since this thread is about something else.
Note: I tried compiling your code on my Debian machine with g++, and it does not compile out-of-the-box, due to (missing) SDKDDKVer.h, which seems to be MS VC++ stuff.
