This tools will work only if you have installed Homemade dictionary2.0.
You can get it from:

http://www.geocities.com/diwakernitin
http://sourceforge.net  (project name : jcustomdict)

1.) AddNewWords.jar : This file adds new words to your dictionary, these new words are the ones
contributed by others. Try checking above websites for "addons" section. You will have to download these
files separately and place them in the directory where you place this file. Only one file at a time can be
loaded. Please read FAQ below b4 you submit your personal words. This tool will add only wordlists created by UploadPersonal.jar.

2.) UploadPersonal.jar : This file allows you to upload your words for benefit of others, just run this
file and it will generate a wordlist by a name that you can specify. The wordlist would uniquely carry your
name in the top, so you will be getting due credits ;-).

Simply zip that file and send it back to me at:

nitinatindore@rediffmail.com
diwakernitin@yahoo.com

Errors and FAQ

1. In case you find error uploading any file probably, the wordlist was uploaded by some windows user, and
you are LINUX guy, vice-versa is generally not possible.B4 you go on blaming LINUX, the real culprit is
MSAccess that allows some user to enter few characters that are generally out of standards.
Open you favorite editor say ( vi, wordpad, kedit etc.) &  look out for some special characters
' " \ or something gibberish (vi will show some strange chars).
Replace these special chars by "space", and try once again if the problem gets solved.

NOTE: DO NOT REPLACE ^ that occurs in the beginning and # that occurs everywhere. They are the actual ones responsible for successfully parsing the file.
NOTE: FOR THE same REASON if your dictionary contains any words that contain above special chars including # or ^, most probably it won't be useful for anyone to upload.

2. If you are asking that why windows and Linux version are given then note that default backend for Linux is Postgresql while that for Windows is MS Access. Windows users can freely  contribute their wordlist for Linux users and vice-versa, subject to above conditions. You have to just select the files (AddNewWords.jar and UploadPersonal.jar) one desired for your platform, that's it.
