We are developing a page layout style of application which requires  
hyphenation of text. We do not want to invest the time into doing  
hyphenation all ourselves. Are there any third-party products or even  
shareware which provide hyphenation for a standalone product such as ours? 

I have heard vague rumours of such a product called The Meriam Webster  
Linguibase. Does anyone know any details of this product or have a contact  
number/address?

BTW, we are developing a standalone WYSIWYG editor, so using TeX is out of  
the question.

Thanks in advance,
Ian
