Dear Stephen,

How complete is CPED as far as the lemmitizations? There are digital
versions of CPED, I imagine it wouldn't be hard to convert it into an MS
word dictionary. If no one else does, I'll make an attempt to do this
conversion sometime next year.

Does anyone know if the open office writer dictionary is the same format as
MS word? It would be nice if it is. I can convert the CPED into both
formats, but it's better if it's just one, so that as people make additions
to the dictionary it will work for both.

Metta,
Frank
