This is in answer to Camm's posting, about
the incompatibility of Webster tiffs.

Tiffs in the Websters dictionary are deliberately
unsupported, I think due to a copyright thing
with Webster... unless you wish to hack your
own program to look at "unsupported tiffs"
(remember you may have problems finding out just
exactly what the unsupported format is) you
will probably do it the way I do; use a screengrab
option in Icon, or even Scene (bleck).

As far as actually getting Webster to display the
desired picture, if the obvious words don't work,
change the option in Webster preferences to "other
word", which ought to bring up all definitions of
other words, which happen to contain the entered word.
For instance, try defining "dogs" with the "other
word" option set in Webster's preferences panel.

Just wandering thru...
