I find that Eric changed the jargon file format a tad, enough
to break mkdict. Here's the new one:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
($start = '{= [^A-Za-z] (see <regexp>) =}') =~ s/\W/\\$&/g;
while (<>) {
next if 1../^\s*$start/o;
last if /^Appendix A/;
print;
}
All the rest is the same. If you would like the program and don't
have it, mail me (with a good, embedded return address).
Here's the usage message:
usage: jcat [-axlr] entry ...
Search the jargon file for:
-x exact matches only
-a accept also non-anchored matches
-l look mode (or invoke as jlook)
-r random fortune mode (or invoke as jfort)
Yes, it's a perl program, but you probably knew that by now. :-)
