What's the deal with the different .zip files?

JLookUp uses EDICT, which has well over 100,000 entries. Now, that file is over 5 megabytes in size. Plus, there are bunch of other dictionaries (like the Japanese-names dictionary--that one is HUGE), and if you get them once, why would you want to get them all over again?

You see, the way I do upgrades is that I just re-package everything and release it again. It's easy for everyone to just overwrite whatever the old version is with the new one.

Back to sizes... Any given update will NOT change any dictionaries; they exist outside of JLookUp (in other words, I didn't make them). The only exceptions to this will be when I find a dictionary that is bugged, and I have fixed it. So, if you already have JLookUp, then all you really need is the new .exe file and maybe some new options text files.

In the near future, I should be switching from .zip files to nice, pretty installers, so there won't be anything to worry about anymore.
