I need a database that will run with the Macintosh Chinese operating
system, preferably the latest versions, e.g. TAI 6.0.4 or later. It
must be able to search Chinese characters properly, which means it must
be Script Manager Compatible and recognize the two-byte code. It must
also do 'contains' searches, i.e. be able to find all occurrences of 'x'
in strings like abx, cdx, efx, or axb, cxd, exf....

Between these two demands, I seem to have eliminated nearly all the
databases that are available for the Macintosh. FileMaker by Claris, a
subsidiary of Apple, does neither. The international version of 4th
Dimension by ACI does both but it costs CAN$1800!!

If you know of any database that will meet these requirements (even for
IBM machines), please let me know.

Dear Professors and Scholars of Latin,

I apologise for the cross-postings.

I am in search of a freeware or public domain electronic
dictionary or wordlist of Latin. If anyone might know how I could
obtain a copy of one of these, I would appreciate it if you could
contact me as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

James A. Wilderotter II

Would someone who knows about the Russian extension for Wordperfect 5.1,
contact me directly? I have some questions for a friend.
