Dragon Flame
Dragonflame is a freeware application for Microsoft Windows (98, Me, XP, NT4, 2000), also available on Linux. it includes a Sindarin dictionary, additional lexicons and a complete Sindarin corpus.
The latest version is Dragon Flame 2.0, released in December 2003. Following is a brief list of the new features added to the software since version 1.0 was first released in December 2002:
- Extented search functions with regular expressions. Helpful for those wanting to find and analyse similar patterns.
- Automated Tengwar transcription (based on the TTT engine and Mans Bjorkman's modes -- courtesy of the YaTT development team)
- Link to on-line dictionaries (e.g. Webster's) when the user's internet connection is active. Helpful for non-native English speakers who sometimes need to check a definition.
- Updated documentation.
- Source code included.
- The "Check updates" feature (broken in DF 1.0) is disabled by default (reserved for wizards only).
- Fixes and improvements in the history mechanism.
DF 2.0 embeds a new version of the Sindarin Dictionary (lexicon version 0.993) including several corrections, a few additional entries, and a major re-work of all entries (better presentation; indications of register, domain, etc. when possible; parts of definitions moved to the etymologies or marked as definition "hints"; some additional discussions entered; some definitions changed...).
