Reviewed by Francis Glassborow in C Vu 9-3 (Mar 1997)
I think I shall run a competition for guidelines on reviewing dictionaries. Frankly I have no idea as to how to do it. This one has one advantage, it includes a machine readable version on a floppy disk. This contains a single monolithic file that will install a Windows Help file version of the book onto your computer (do not worry it includes an uninstall). This has been slickly produced but unfortunately this requires some version of MS Windows.

Noticing 'motherboard' I looked up 'daughterboard' but it was not there. By the way in a PC environment surely these should be 'parentboard' and 'childboard'. Only joking, or am I?
