Hi Jim, Not an intrusion at all. I'm open to help and suggestions from any and all. Thanks for your reply. While I'm not closed to the idea of an HD version, I am concerned about (1) how much space one of these requires, and (2) how limited they are…
Thanks for your reply, Rich. Yes, I should have mentioned that it must run on an MS DOS machine. No Windows… no OS/2. Oh yes, no child's dictionary. And, while I'm not willing to take out a loan for it, the price is not terribly important. I've used MicroSoft's Bookshelf.…

#MS Bookshelf for Windows
Message #18514
Nelson, I've heard that MS Bookshelf for Windows contains the access software for both Windows and DOS. Is this true? David Justice
If you're not too squeezed for space, perhaps you could place both a DOS version and WINDOWS version of the access program(s) on the same disk. That way, you could sell the same disk to those who use WINDOWS, those who won't use WINDOWS, and those who don't use WINDOWS…
