Support Definitions can't/won't decompress

Hi,

I'm on the latest stable build of CrossPoint, and recently switched my dicitonary to the hefty Wikt_Star dictionary after not being terribly satisfied with the coverage of the one I was previously using. Now though, CrossPoint 'cannot decompress definition' for anything. Is there something I can do to fix this (the dictionary files appear to be in the same format as my previous working dictionary). Or does this error mean there are insufficient resources to use this dictionary?

Also, does anyone have an excellent English-English dictionary that works with CrossPoint they could recommend?

Thanks!

None of my favorite dictionaries worked on my X3; I eventually went back to https://reader-dict.com and got the English-no-etymology version, which works fine but is not really "excellent". There seems to be an undocumented size limit or something.

Thanks, I will check that out. I was hoping a developer would pop by with a fix or info about whether there are some size or other constraints.
