Influenced by MBasic

I wondered how MBasic interpret strings ( Basic code. ). I wanna see how it work so I use GNU/Linux, which is free software. Although there is no MBasic in Linux Distro but there are plenty of another interpreter to hack. My main job is also about string manupulating. Today I 'm writing program to generate parse tree from Earley parsing result. I go on manipulate string, not because that I can do well but just because I wanna do. :-P

dictd-lexitron on Debian

I try to fix shit that I left in dictd-lexitron. I forgot to add some file in Makefile.am and configure.in.
So I make this patch. I try to make deb for dictd-lexitron but it is not finish yet. Anyway, there are some progress. To install *.dict.gz and *.index to /usr/share/dictd only is not enough to Debian. After I use command /etc/init.d/dictd restart, ``dictd'' was killed because of LOCALE problem. To use command ``/usr/sbin/dictd --locale=th_TH.UTF-8'' instead could make it work but I still don't if I use modify /etc/init.d/dictd or not??? Where do I suppose to modify? ( Please leave me some comments )

Debian Package

I have to install Statistics-MaxEntropy, which is Perl module and we need it for many statistical NLP tasks, to Debian boxes. I will need to install it again. Thus, I will make my first debian package. However, please tell me if it is already exist. I plan to follow this document and then make it fast and dirty :-P Upstream contribution is not main purpose. Anyway, I will clean it if I have free time.
