Server Implementation

Introduction

For easy starting, I use SOAP::Lite perl package to implement the server side, later it is changed to gSOAP C with NiuWen hua's help.
The server develop focus on the performance,multi-language transportation,multi-dictionaries.

International Phonetic Symbol

Guidance on pronunciation basicly follows the system of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). I use the yb10x20.pcf font,see the snapshot(using xfd -fn yb10x20).
Current only the Dictinary 0 is using this YB. ( others have bad sybmols ,how to do ?)
 
IPA i.e. olddict newdict yb10x20 IPA i.e. old new  yb10x20 IPA i.e. old new yb10x20
                             
game g g g long n_ N G ship S S S
chair tS tS tS thin 8 8 Q measure 3 3 3
jet d3 d3 d3 there & & J yes j j j
                             
bat ae A K dark a: a: a: say ei ei ei
bet e e e seem i: i: i: buy ai ai ai
another 2 2 E born c: c: C toy ci ci Ci
sit i i i term 2: 2: E: so ou 2u Eu
top c c C moon u: u: u: now au au au
but ^ ^ V           peer i2 i2 iE
put u u u           fair E2 E2 WE
                    poor u2 u2 uE

From olddict to newdict:
n_->N,ou->2u,ae->A
From newdict to gdict to display (pay attention to 2,E)
8->Q,A->K,&->J,c->C,^->V,E->W,2->E,N->G
