And now I actually want to write software for mobile phones, something like Tomeraider, but then Free. Not that it will run on many of the mobile phones right now in Mali, but it will in the near future. And I would like to have some kind of "viral" client thing. Some Java client that can easily be copied to other phones in the neigbourhood, that can find and access a DICT server running on a phone that has enough memory. Maybe some of you know of another compressed hypertext format that does include images? I like DICT for its spead and simplicity, but it lacks images...
Have you looked at Plucker (http://plkr.org)? As far as I can tell, the only existing reader is for PalmOS; but it is an open, documented format, and it does have hyperlinks and images.
(Is it actually possible to run a server on a cell phone?)
