Lou:

Forgive the possibly dum questions but, what form does the dictionary come 
in, and where might I check one out?

I suspect that it's kind of funny to think that me, being the college 
professor, used some 40-year-old vest pocket dictionary, but honestly, I 
guess I somehow survived.

My problem now is that the Braille dictionary just takes up so much room, 
and is so outdated, that a new one does really make sense, and getting it in 
electronic form is even a better idea.

So, my good sir, please enlighten me a bit more, and we'll be all set.

My brain is fried here from house-hunting and other particulars of the move, 
so I admit that I'm not running at full brain power at this time.  (grin)

Tom,

i'm sure others will have good software dictionaries for you but, in the
interest ov covering all the bases, I use the self-contained Franklin
Language master, Special edition.  These went for $500 back in the early
90's when I got this  one but I think they've come way down since then.
I've had it for over 15 years and still use it nearly every day.  Lou
