The version of WIkipedia I use is from kiwix.org, which uses the .zim format. I use that because there is a FRirefox add-on to do lookups in it. I don't know how these formats compare. Maybe one is better than the other. Maybe it is a toss-up. it does not matter in principle which of these formats or software can do local lookup in, That is just a practical issue. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
