- I think a long time ago (circa 1990) I remembered
- reading about a project out of university of waterloo
- in which they were doing a comphresive effort to put
- the complete oxford english dictionary into an
- electronic format. Has this been done?
-
- also is any body aware of electronic dictionaries
- that contain the hyphenation info as well. (take into
- account that I have yet to play any cd-rom offerings
- of dictionaries).
