- Funny thing happened last night. The Wife, who is working on a term paper,
- starts cussin' an' swearin' at WordsWorth 3 because there's not enough words
- in the thesaurus.
-
- So I start looking at all the software I own (all of it bought legit, too!)
-
- The latest/last version of Excellence! (still the best Amiga WP ever written.
- If it supported AGA properly I'd still be using it) w/German and French
- dictionaries.
- Final Copy.
- Pagestream 2 and 3
- Wordsworth3 (soon to become 5)
-
- Each one of those programs has a dictionary in it. Some have more than one,
- and a couple have thesauri as well.
-
- Surely there's a way to merge all these dictionaries into one big one.
-
- Michael, wanna ask your ace programmers if there's a way to write a
- dictionary format converter/concatinator?
-
- COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS: This would make a good project... :)
