"Array index" is jargon from the world of numeric indices rather
than alphabetical indexes, and out of place here.

Mega-whats?  Say "ten MB".

Given that you "enter" a directory with cd, make that "specify".

Apparently it's GENE95.

It occurs to me that nothing in these package descriptions says in
so many words that these are wordlists for Japanese-speakers writing
in English (hence for instance the EUC-JP-encoded upstream README)
rather than, say, for US tourists visiting Tokyo...

So I'd like to rewrite this one as:

  Description: Emacs interface for Japanese dictionaries
   This package provides an Emacs-Lisp viewer for English-Japanese
   and Japanese-English dictionaries.

Clarify that downloading from that URL is a practical convenience
rather than a legal requirement:

  Before installing this package, you need a copy of gene95.lzh,
  gene95.tar.gz, or gene95.tar.bz2, available from:
   http://namazu.org/~tsuchiya/sdic/index.html

That format's like the one we always used to recommend for homepage
URLs.  Pointing a web browser at the URL without index.html gives me
a 406, though it seems to work with raw HTTP/1.1 GET requests...

Why would anyone want the .lzh version, I wonder?

Despite the /eng/ in the URL, archive.org tells me the page always
was Japanese-only.  It's now a redirect, so update it.

    EIJIRO is available from the Electronic Dictionary Project, as
    detailed (in Japanese) at http://shop.alc.co.jp/cnt/eijiro/. The
    dictionary data can be obtained either by buying the book (ISBN
    4-7574-0838-2) or by downloading it from http://www.eijiro.jp/ and
    buying a key.
