the
multi-platform installer builder.
WOLF is available for installation from Apple and Window store.
From Windows store it is called Word Oriented Linguistic Framework;
From Apple Store it is called Wolf dictionary App. On both, you should be able to search using the keybord wolf.

Installation
If you are upgrading from WOLF version 1.0, version 1.1 has a slightly different file format. Wolf 2.1's fille
format should be the same as version 1.1. To be safe however, before
installing the new version, first use the WOLF export option ( )
to first archive your current dictionaries. After the install, you can retrieve
your dictionaries using the WOLF import option ( ).
