  14. I think a long time ago (circa 1990) I remembered
  15. reading about a project out of university of waterloo
  16. in which they were doing a comphresive effort to put
  17. the complete oxford english dictionary into an
  18. electronic format.  Has this been done?
  19.  
  20. also is any body aware of electronic dictionaries
  21. that contain the hyphenation info as well. (take into
  22. account that I have yet to play any cd-rom offerings
  23. of dictionaries).
