- The American Heritage Electronic Dictionary is *now* 32-bit clean. I
- received a mailing in December and ordered the new DA which is 32-bit
- clean. I'm running on a Mac IIci with 12MB and System 7.1. Also
- ordered their "College Edition" which comes on 11 diskettes and takes
- up about 8MB for the dictionary file. I have that stored on a SyQuest
- cartridge and use it when the smaller dictionary just won't do. :-)
