About the dictionary: 

1) the dictionary files themselves come in a standard format called
EPWING [1].
2) the dictionary software itself (zdict) is open source [2]

BTW: there are also several (free) third party dictionaries available
[3] which can be used within zdict. I'm using the KanjiDic and EDICT on
my Zaurus.

Yeah, that and the much better kanji input of the Sharp ROM... well, OK,
not that it recognises my futile attempts to write unknown kanjis...

My only problem with that: I am already using something else (Evolution)
and I do not intend to switch to KDE or any QT based application...
