How do I add stuff to rits data bases such as the one for proper names?
The data base for proper names is a file rts/ritdata/proper. There is another program “update” in the same directory which you can run to update the data base. (You may have to type “chmod +x update” the first time you use it.) Just type “update proper” and on the subsequent lines, type one proper name (first letter in upper case) and its Telugu transliteration (in RTS ) per line. When you are done press CTRL-D. The data base for English-to-Telugu dictionary is a file rts/ritdata/engteldict. You update this in the same way as above by typing “update engteldict” and typing one English word, its transliteration and Telugu meaning (in RTS ) per line. However, when you send your file to someone else, their rit program wouldn’t know about this update. But there is a simple way to communicate with rit programs at another site; see “Advanced features” section in this manual.
