The question has been posed to me; "Do you know where I can find a 
braille medical dictionary that is current?"  One accessable on disk 
might also fill the bill.  Any ideas......

  Do they actually need a dictionary that defines the words or just one 
that shows spelling?  If they just need the correct spelling, both 
WordStar and WordPerfect have suppliment medical dictionarys available 
for their word processors.  I don't know about WordPerfect's but 
WordStar's was $25 or so last time I looked.

Is anyone using the American Heritage dictionary from CBFB yet?  If so, 
are you using it with the ZIP and LIST programs and looking inside the 
ZIP files without unpacking the files?  Sure would be great if it was 
convenient to use it that way.  Fourteen megs is a lot of disk space 
just to look up a word once a month.  I wonder if George scanned that 
text or if he received it from the publisher in word processed format.  
Lots of work!
Phil.
