Sorry to post to the net. Email has bounced, besides, the discussion
on the dictionary may be useful to some one.

No, if so I would send it back. It was purchased from a private individual

The problem I was refering to is that I believe the 3.5 dictionary is
too large to fit on a 5.25 disk. Thanks for the info though. I will
check to be sure it has the "l"s in it and if not, use my awks 3.0 one.

Yes Jim, I got three replies: 1) yours (with the info. I asked about)
2) The message above 3) a package mailed to me with the info. & disks!
Thanks to every one who answered! I should have my father-in-law up
and running shortly.
