Has anyone used Inside Information -- a sort of reverse dictionary from Microlytics. Their blurb says you give it some words related to an idea (say "Japanese Stringed Instrument") and the choices that fit the definition are returned. Sounds intriguing to me, but I would like to hear from anyone who knows more first hand. Louis Janus Scandinavian Dept Univ of Minnesota Minneapolis, MN 55455

Does anybody have 'Inside Information'? (Inside Information is a reference work that apparently has lots of encyclopedic information arranged in an easily accessible form. It includes a reverse dictionary.) What do you think of it? Can you add your own entries to its database? Can you extract what you have added in a form that allows you to put your entries into the next version, when it comes out? Thank you. -- David Palmer palmer@gap.cco.caltech.edu ...rutgers!cit-vax!gap.cco.caltech.edu!palmer "Operator, get me the number for 911" --Homer Simpson
