Just to point out something:----------------------
Credits: The cgi script for this program is written by Masood Hashemi. The content is reportedly based on, but not identical to, an edition of Aryanpours' Persian-English dictionary. The database is said to have been developed from the data of an open-source DOS program by Bahman Sabouri (?), which was updated and modified by many before it was decoded by Ali A Khanban, who also made corrections of his own.
If you find an error in the credits above, or if you are interested in the source file of this online program, please contact the author.
----------------------
1. The DOS program by Bahman Sabouri was not open source.
2. "...which was updated and modified by many before it was..." is not correct, because there was no modification possibility in the program. You could only add words to it. Most of the words added to it were not suitable (dirty, to be exact), except a few computer words. So, I would say the data was more or less original Aryanpour data.
