The dictionaries are common for Mac Write II, MacDraw II (maybe even FileMaker but I am not sure). I do not have German thesaurus and I've never seen one. -------------------------- Roman Kanala, CUEPE, University of Geneva, Switzerland, kanala@sc2a.unige.ch -------------------------- I will never buy a Ford because of Pinto.
