I have got the Webster CD-ROM dictionary from a friend, but he doesn't
have the disk(s) that came with it. Basically, the CD-ROM is supposed to
contain the data file and the disk is supposed to contain the
application to read the data files. Does anyone have the Webster
dictionary disk(s)? If so, please e-mail me at ch4z@andrew.cmu.edu. I
would like to get a copy of it so I can run the CD-ROM which I already
have.

I don't think this would be illegal copying, because I basically have
the data files on the CD-ROM and I'm only missing the application.
Please help! Thanks!!

You are missing the application because you didn't purchase it.  Your
friend was in violaion of copyright law when he gave you the CD ROM data
files.  I suggest giving the CD back and purchasing the whole package
yourself.
