    Some words about the format and the converting!

@{u}Format:@{uu}
    A dictionary entry always starts and ends with '&'. It has to
be a separate line and only this character. The line under is the place of
the word entry. The sense of word is in the next line until a new '&'
character.

&
<word>
<sense>
<sense>
...
&

@{i}For example:@{ui}

&
open
megnyit
kinyit
&

@{u}Converting of an LSDictionary database:@{uu}
    Fisrt you have to use LSDConv to convert LSDictionary database to
Language Tools format. After that, use Much2One to collect the words what
occur more than one. And the last you have to do is making an index for
the dictionary. Simple, isn't it?
