I use FoxPro for mine. I have four columns for the klingon version
of the word, one for the roman version (tlhIngan), one for the pIqaD version
(XIFAN), one for Klinzhai (kliqan), both of those compatible with the font
available through the KLI, and an "alpha" version (21.08.13.01.12) which is
suitable for sorting as each letter is giving a number according to it's
place in the alphabet. Naturally, I have a program the does the conversion
from the normal romanized version from the dictionary to the other formats.
