   I think a long time ago (circa 1990) I remembered
   reading about a project out of university of waterloo
   in which they were doing a comphresive effort to put
   the complete oxford english dictionary into an
   electronic format.  Has this been done?

Yes, the OED 2. edition is out. It is available from Oxford University Press.

It is NOT cheap.
