[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] WANTED: A general purpose dictionary for MS-DOS

wehr@fmeed1.UUCP (Bruce Wehr) (11/12/90)

A friend of mine is looking for a general purpose dictionary for MS-DOS.
If I understand his needs correctly, he is *not* looking for just a list
of words like most spell checking programs use.  He is looking for a
program that contains words and their definitions, and an interface that
will allow him to look up those words.

I have checked the listing from Simtel to no avail.  Has anybody got any
other pointers?  Public domain is preferable, but commercial is fine,
too.

Thanks in advance for any info.  Follow-ups are directed to me.
