John,
FYI, I'm using a 2 Meg, American Heritage dictionary
on a flashram card on my DOS palmtop. Here is my dictionary:
KD EXE 54,681 08-11-94 8:37p
KEYDICT NDX 217,826 08-11-94 8:37p
KDCONFIG EXE 10,713 08-11-94 8:37p
KEYDICT DIC 1,998,986 08-11-94 8:40p
KEYDICT CFG 252 08-11-94 8:59p
I use it for definitions and occasionally spelling. Mainly
as a reference when I'm reading.
