RE: Webster's 3rd International

Thank you, Robert. I had not read your OED site in a while; it's even more
comprehensive. And I think I'll take your suggestion. I miss having the OED
on my HD (1.1 was perfect -- simple, clean, and with your executable, a snap
to run.) Swhx.exe seems like a good solution. My only complaint with V4 is
that you cannot copy the entire definition (which I do with every set of
graduate papers I line edit, then attach the definitions to the edit copy to
show the student why he got that lousy grade; imagine -- paying $35,000 to
learn to write and being too lazy to use a dictionary!). At all events, I'll
give it a try. Price is very low these days.
