Hi Bandeep,

The gui only works with the new dictionary schema.  However, there is an older 
command-line (cli) dictionary creator that will create a database in the old 
format.  The cli version has more options than the gui, but that makes it more 
attentive to detail - meaning that you need to be careful with specifications.

There is a file in the data/tiny/ directory that lists the sources used.  You 
can add or remove source names as desired.  There is another file that lists 
tuis.  You can add or remove as desired.  Then use the cli parameter "-fword" 
and you should be able to create a custom dictionary similar to what you got 
from the gui, but in the older format.

You can find a lot of information on using the cli in the mailing list archives.

Subject: Custom dictionary with Default Pipeline

Hi All,

I created a custom UMLS dictionary using the Dictionary GUI and managed to run 
it with FAST pipeline. However I was just curious to know how we can make the 
custom dictionary work with DEFAULT pipeline.

It would be really helpful in something I am trying here.

Thanks,
Bandeep
