FEATURES OF THIS  MEDICAL DICTIONARY.
1. Case Insensitive., i.e. Capital letters or lower /upper case letters not material for search
2. User can edit the dictionary entries in the data text file, using a text editor.


HOW TO USE (No need of installation of this software.  Unzipping will be sufficient).

1.  You can use java 8 either from installation on your desktop or from your usb drive.
2.  Based on Java 8.  Hence, make sure that you have Java 8 on your system / usb drive.  If you do not have java 8, you can download it free from the Oracles Website.  Store all the jdk8 files downloaded by you, in a folder called say 'jdk8'.  Most Java Classes are platform independent, i.e. they work in all major Operating Systems such as Linux, Windows, Mac.

2. Copy the ybmedicdicti.zip file in a folder of your choice, say on your Desktop or in My Documents in case of Windows, or in /home/userside in linux.  Some similar thing in Mac.


IF YOU ARE IN LINUX (Say Ubuntu):
When you unzip the file in /home/x (username), you will get /home/x/ybmedicdicti folder.

IF YOU ARE IN WINDOWS / Mac
When you unzip the file you will be in a folder something like C:\ybmedicdicti.

3. You will find the text file of your ybmedicdicti.txt  in the directory.  This file, you can edit with any text editor.  I have edited using geany and gedit of Linux OS.  You can add or delete entries (words and meanings).  For this medicdictionary to work, if you add additional words, pl. prefix every entry with ^`

Start every entry on a new line.
^`wordyouenter: meaning.  Example: ^`Injection: ....(Meaning to be typed).

HOW TO USE THE  ybMEDICDICTIONARY
In case of Linux you will go to commandline.  cd to  /home/x(username)/ybmedicdicti.  (That is the folder where you have unzipped the file).
In case of Windows/Mac, you have to use a similar path  C:...... from DOS prompt.

Now, we invoke the java command 


Type (path to java 8 folder on your system or in your usb drive)/bin/java pcpsvmybmedicdicti.  Press enter.
Note: Typing correct classname is very important.  Else, you will get an error message.

Example in Linux Ubuntu 16.04, while invoking java 8 from a usb drive: 
/media/.../.../bin/java pcpsvmybmedicdicti and press enter.

Example in Linux Ubuntu.  If you have your java 8 in your home folder:
/home/x(i.e.username)/......./bin/java pcpsvmybmedicdicti and press enter.

Meaning of the class name :   pcpsvmybmedicdicti : pc= Public Class. psvm=Public Static Void Main. yb=Creator's name.  medic=Medical.  dicti=dictionary.  Pl. do not change the names of the class files.  I have deliberately avoided Capital Letters in the class name.

IMPORTANT: Make sure that the pcpsvmybmedicdicti class files and the ybmedicdicti.txt file are in the same folder.  Pl. note that this text data file is very small.  It has about 10000 words.  

When you type a search word and click the get button, you will get Result, Result No., Record No.  If the word typed by you is not available in the Dictionary, or if you have typed an incorrect spelling, window will show "Result" only, but there will be nothing else.  If the particular word is not available, you can open the text file in a text editor, and add new words after googling elsewhere.
