<br>Subject: CD-ROM Dictionaries - report
<br>
<br>Here is some information on CD-ROM English dictionaries that I have been
<br>able to find.  I appreciate the information which was sent.  Many of
<br>these seem to be available in MAC and Windows versions.  Thomas Creswell
<br>told me of an article he has written which seems to be the best source
<br>of information on the subject. =20
