Thank you for your reply and help, maemo.it.

Actually, I could never use that much code, I am totally unfamiliar with it.

What I did was just extract the folders exactly as they were, and move the contents exactly as they were, to a folder named "dic"in the "root" of the N900 (i.e.the base folder as viewed in Windows Explorer when connected via USB).

(Small exception, after extracting the .bz2 files using Winrar, there was another level of folder with the same name twice - so I moived the files up one level and deleted the repeat-named folder).

Now QStarDic sees the dictionaries - finally.

One more note, I found a huge repository of dictionary files, from anoither site, but all are links directly to the sourceforge site. I couldn't track back the links to their sourcepages at sourceforge - SF is notoriously hard to navigate, AFAIAC.

Here is the link. I a pretty sure this is a legitimate set og links, i.e. not illegal files, but if there is a problem, mods pls delete.
