+About the WBXML Token Dictionaries
+
+WBXML can use tokens to represent tag names, attribute names, attribute
+names combined with part or all of the attribute value, and part or all
+of an attribute value.
+
+The cXML code needs internal tables that map tokens to strings and strings
+to tokens.  To simplify the generation of these tables (dictionaries) a
+simple data file giving token-string pairs is processed by a dictionary
+creator utility program which outputs the required .h and .c files.
+
+The dictionary creator program source code is in dict_creator.c and it
+is a stand-alone program.  To compile it with the MS C compiler use the
+command: cl /Zi /W4 /WX dict_creator.c
+
+If you encounter following errors about lib.c can't be found or stdio.h is 
+not found in path, you need to set up system var:
+
+INCLUDE: C:\progra~1\micros~3\VC98\Include
+LIB: C:\progra~1\micros~3\VC98\lib
+
+To get dict_creator usage info run dict_creator with no arguments.
+
+Files with extension ".dict" are data input files.
+
+Example runs:
+
+dict_creator xhtml_1_0.dict xhtml_1_0_dict.c nw_xhtml_xhtml_1_0_tokens.h
+dict_creator wml_1_3.dict wml_1_3_dict.c nw_wml1x_wml_1_3_tokens.h
+
+dict_creator si.dict si_dict.c si_dict.h
+
+
+You have to get through dict_creator without errors and then you have to
+get through the C compiler on the output.  If the output doesn't compile,
+it may be because dict_creator did something wrong.  Dict_creator has to
+make a few transformations on the input to create C variable names and it
+is possible (though we hope never encountered in use) that this produces
+output that won't compile.
