- Another option for much of this stuff (not dictionaries though) is

- CD Rom with "Complete Text and Illustrations of over 950 titles
- from over 500 works of literature, philosophy, drama,
- poetry, science and religion."
- The search mechanism is useful, but not the brightest and best
- piece of programming I've ever seen.
- Interestingly, under the heading of Historical Documents, it
- includes all the great US ones - incl. Fed.Papers, and throws in,
- just for fun I guess, the Code of Hammurabi, Beowulf, El Cid and the
- Magna Carta.
