Hacking tool
Nov. 1st, 2003 04:12 pmGiven a database in a binary or text format, is there a tool to find what the data is and allows you to edit it? (obviously there can be no guarantee that it figures out the format, especially if there is some kind of encryption)
I am unhappy with my English<->Dutch dictionary for PalmOS, because it doesn't have enough words and it doesn't show enough meanings for each word. So I'm looking for a better free dictionary online to try to adapt into their format. 1

By the way, it's really hard to find good, complete dictionaries on the Net. Since governments waste so much money anyway, they could at least fund such a basic thing: the public benefit of having free dicionaries is potentially much bigger than its cost. And it could be even cheaper to buy out the copyright of an already-developed private dictionary or two, especially if they know that they're about to compete with free information. All left to do would be break the protections, thereby making the dictionary's content open-source for everyone's customization.
