Funny thing happened last night. The Wife, who is working on a term paper,
starts cussin' an' swearin' at WordsWorth 3 because there's not enough words
in the thesaurus.

So I start looking at all the software I own (all of it bought legit, too!)

The latest/last version of Excellence! (still the best Amiga WP ever written.
If it supported AGA properly I'd still be using it) w/German and French
dictionaries.
Final Copy.
Pagestream 2 and 3
Wordsworth3 (soon to become 5)

Each one of those programs has a dictionary in it. Some have more than one,
and a couple have thesauri as well.

Surely there's a way to merge all these dictionaries into one big one.

Michael, wanna ask your ace programmers if there's a way to write a
dictionary format converter/concatinator?

COMPUTER SCIENCE STUDENTS: This would make a good project... :)
