NAME
     mkdic - Tool for creating a user dictionary

SYNOPSIS
     mkdic [{-cs|-cannaserver} canna-server] [-s] [- | -l local-file] remote-dic

DESCRIPTION
     mkdic  creates  user dictionary named remote-dic in the user dictionary di-
     rectory of the remote host, on which cannaserver(1M) is in operation.  Dic-
     tionary file name remote-dic is assigned to this file at this time.

     If the - and -l option isn't specified, mkdic creates an empty dictionary.

     If the - option is specified, the standard input will be used as  the  dic-
     tionary file. If the -l option is specified, local-file will be used as the
     dictionary file.

     If the user dictionary directory does not exist, it will be created.

     Dictionary  directory  file -- dics.dir -- is rewritten automatically after
     the registering. The registered dictionary can thus be used by writing  the
     dictionary name into the customize file.

OPTIONS
     -cs canna-server (or -cannaserver canna-server)
		 Specifies the server machine that contains the dictionary to be
		 created.

     -s 	 Indicates  that the dictionary to be created is an adjunct dic-
		 tionary.  If this option is omitted,  the  dictionary	will  be
		 created as an independent-word one.

     -l local-file
		 Registers the input data from local-file.

     -		 The standard input will be used as the dictionary file.

EXAMPLES
     (1) If you want to creat an empty dictionary file:

	   % mkdic test

     (2) If you want to register the input data from the standard input:

	   % mkdic test -

     Registers	the  input  data from the standard input, in the user dictionary
     directory under dictionary name ``test''.	The following line is then added
     to dictionary directory file -- dics.dir -- :

	       user1.t(.mwd) -test-

     (3) If the dictionary file is specified:

	   % mkdic test -l test1.t

     Registers independent-word dictionary file ``test1.t'' in the remote host's
     user dictionary directory under dictionary name  ``test''.   The  following
     line is then added to dics.dir:

	      user1.t(.mvd) -test-

     user1.t is a dictionary file name generated automatically by the system.
