Revive 'semi-numeric' Edition of Stchoupak

This is the 'SD' link For STC dictionary on homepage: [SD]

This program uses a Perl cgi script. I disabled the parts that would fail on the new server.
So input and output require HK transliteration.

I revived this because it is still an interesting idea for displaying a dictionary.

It depends on a database which associates with each headword, the page and page-position.
Thus, the scanned image is highlighted for the word.

Of course, this could be written in something besides Perl. It also uses the mysql database available on the
Cologne server; and this database could be changed to sqlite.

But probably there is no real interest in doing this modernizing now,

The Home page link (Under STC) is SD

Exactly. If the French do not care, why should we?

I think this idea of having dictionary headwords link to portions of scanned images is
interesting. So it is worth keeping as an exemplar.

headwords link to portions of scanned images is interesting

I mean of course it's great because it saves time. But that's something UI related. And we still have thousands of typos to fix first.
