Overview

pwnsjp is a text-based frontend to some dictionaries published by Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN. The following dictionaries has been tested:

• “Słownik języka polskiego PWN”, 3 volumes (distributed as an attachment to Gazeta Wyborcza) [3TSJP];
• “Multimedialny słownik PWN. Frazeologia” [MSF];
• “Multimedialny słownik PWN. Język polski” [MSJP];
• “Multimedialny słownik PWN. Wyrazy obce” [MSWO].

You will need the *.win file, which can be obtained:

• either by extracting from setup/data1.cab using Unshield;
• or by installing the original interface on Windows/Wine.
