Just out of college, my German was pretty good (at least for reading)
but now, getting back into it after over a year, the first thing to 
go was vocabulary retention, never my strong point in school, either.
I started building a "flashcard" program, not a difficult task, but
the biggest pain is: the database!  I'm wondering if anyone has a
German-English electronic database with or without an accompanying 
quiz program.  Any of Unix, MS-Dos, or Mac will do, but preferably Unix.

Please respond with e-mail.  If I don't get one, I'll post what I
come up with, but it may take a while: my method has been to raid my
old textbooks, with indiscriminate pages of Langenscheidt thrown in.

ps: espan~ol or latin would help, too... :-)

pps: I'll pass on anything I find out to those interested.
