The Concise Oxford Dictionary v1.1, Oxford Thesaurus v1.3 and Oxford
Reference Shelf v2.0

This contains the eighth edition of the Concise Oxford Dictionary in
electronic form. There are over 120,000 entries and 190,000
definitions. Special attention has been paid to the vocabulary of
science and technology, including fields such as environmental studies
and the information sciences. ? More information is included in the
"ReadMe" docs of both archives, above.

 * Top DL: The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus, only. In Disk Copy
   4.2 floppy disk images, compressed as StuffIt ".sit" archive.

   * Note: - Very particular installer: Requires images to be written back to floppy disk media and installed via actual hardware floppy disk drive.
 * 2nd DL: The Complete Oxford, CD-ROM .iso image compressed to .zip
   archive. The ISO contains The Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus and
   The Oxford Reference Shelf - an extensive library covering
   multiple language vocabulary references and definitions, law and
   medical terms, etc.; See screenshot #3.

   * Note 1: - No install required. Simply mount image and run. Exception is the Reference Library, which requires 2 font families to be installed first (included in disk image).

   * Note 2: If you intend to mount this CD image on a Mac running a classic Mac OS 9.x or earlier OS.
Use [MacZip][1] to extract the .zip and the [Virtual CD/DVD
Utility][2] to mount the extracted .iso.

Otherwise just unzip on your host PC and add it to an emulator's GUI
to mount it as an additional emulated hard drive, then access it's
content once the emulator starts up (Basilisk II or SheepShaver). Or,
burn the iso image to CD and mount that way.

Compatibility
Architecture: 68k

Native 68k encoded but runs well on PPC Macintosh too.

The Oxford Dictionary, Thesaurus and Oxford Reference Shelf can also
be run directly from the CD-ROM image or can be copied to the hard
drive and used that way. If copied to a HD, the entire folders named
"Oxford Reference Shelf" and "Oxford Dictionary & Thesaurus" must be
copied into the HD to work correctly.
