[lojban] word trainer - jdictp

Hi all.
I've tried to convert Robin's word lists for SuperMemo for use with jdictp. jdictp is another flash-card program - see http://jdict.sourceforge.net.
Unfortunately it doesn't work yet; jdictp crashes when I try to load the lojban list. I'm still investigating. If anybody else has more luck then please let me know.
The palm .pdb file is at http://www.gulik.co.nz/lojban.pdb; 666kb. You'll need to install the SuperWaba JVM (http://www.superwaba.org) and jdictp first.
I used this very small Python script to convert big_list_supermemo_win.txt into a TEI.2 file, and then manually made changes to the resulting file until it was accepted by the jdictp parser: 

#!/bin/python
# This file converts Robin's Supermemo word list into a jdictp compatible wordlist (I.e. TEI 2) 

infile = open("big_list.txt", "r+")
outfile = open("lojban.tei", "w+")

outfile.writelines(["<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n",
                   "<TEI.2>\n",
                   "<TEIHEADER>\n",
                   "<FILEDESC>\n",
                   "<TITLESTMT><TITLE>Lojban</TITLE></TITLESTMT>\n",
                   "</FILEDESC>\n",
                   "</TEIHEADER>\n",
                   "<TEXT>\n<BODY>"])

currentq = ""
currenta = ""
lines = infile.readlines()

for aline in lines:
   if (aline.strip() == ''):
# Then we have reached the end of a question/answer. We write it out. 
       outfile.writelines(["<ENTRY>\n<FORM>\n<ORTH>\n",
                           currentq,
                           "</ORTH>\n</FORM>\n",
                           "<TRANS>\n<TR>\n",
                           currenta,
                           "</TR>\n</TRANS>\n",
                           "</ENTRY>\n"
                           ])
       currentq = ""
       currenta = ""
   elif aline.startswith("Q"):
       # Add to the question
       currentq = currentq + aline[3:]
   elif aline.startswith("A"):
       currenta = currenta + aline[3:]

outfile.writelines(["</BODY></TEXT>\n",
                   "</TEI.2>\n"
                   ])

infile.close()
outfile.close()
