Webster's 1913 dictionary for kindle, with nothing stripped

[afrangry]

Hello everyone! I just made a script to generate a .prc file of webster's 1913 dictionary. I do realize it has already been uploaded here, but I want to clarify that this is not a dupe! Instead, it is generated using a script written by myself to transform the project gutenburg #29765 html file (i.e. webster's 1913 on PG) into a kindle-supported prc without stripping away the etymologies, example sentences, or phrases.

This started when I desperately needed the webster's 1913 with etymology included on my kindle, but I couldn't find any available. So I decided to make one myself.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this is generated by my own script written in C, which sucks and guarantees errors. Also, styling from the PG html is preserved, so expect close to zero formatting, let alone inflections. In case anyone wants to improve this, I have enclosed my script here as well. The zip file is compressed with 7zip with PPMd method.

I just found out nrapallo made this too back in 2009 which is a lot better than mine, but it's still fun to make one from the project gutenburg file. Anyways, here's a bug I observed: entry names containing semicolon should be seperated as two in the index.

fixed bug of multiple entry listed together with semicolon.

BTW the reason my code looks really messy is that the project gutenburg html file does not follow a strict format of dictionary entries, thus the code must be very robust in order to handle unexpected situations.
