Unlike the software, it requires no electricity. And, unlike any
other printed Chinese dictionary, it makes it easy to look up any
word if you know its pronunciation, even if you are unsure of the
tones and may not know how it is written in Chinese characters.
In April, 1997, Wenlin Institute, Inc. signed a license agreement
with the University of Hawaii, to combine
Wenlin with the ABC
(Alphabetically Based Computerized) Chinese-English Dictionary,
edited by John DeFrancis. One and a half years later, publication of
the integrated product
Wenlin 2.0 was finally announced. By far the
greatest improvement ever to happen to
Wenlin is combining it with
this top-rate dictionary containing over 72,000 entries; but that
was not the end of the story. John DeFrancis and his team (now
including Tom Bishop of Wenlin Institute) continued working on the
dictionary, increasing the number of entries to over 196,000 and
making many more improvements. The new Comprehensive ABC Dictionary
was included in electronic form with
Wenlin 3.0, released in July
2002, and the book was published by the University of Hawaii Press
in July 2003. (Some corrections were made to the dictionary, after
the release of
Wenlin 3.0, before the publication of the
Comprehensive book.
