My $0.02:
Back when, I did a little experimentation and playing around, and ultimately
settled on OpenOffice.org spreadsheet. Spreadsheet makes it easy to add an
entry and sort. OpenOffice.org tools have a built-in export to PDF, so I
export to PDF and use the dictionary in PDF form. I use the search function
in the reader to find Klingon or English words (like the other formats
described in the thread). I keep the Klingon words in a font that maps
pIqaDqoq to the unicode private area, and insert the words as unicode. That
way, the sort function keeps the words in proper Klingon order (i.e., q
segregated from Q).
One thing I regret is that I didn't including the source with the words
(TKD, KGT, etc.).
