     Hi netters!

     The subject of my article says it all.  Here is exactly my problem.
I'd like to find a sort of big on-disk dictionary that contains french
words and their coresponding english translation.  The dictionary would
look as close as possible like a printed french<->english dictionary.
This dictionary would be useful for me for two reasons:

   (1) When I'm reading an English word or idiom I don't undestand, I'd
like an easy interface to search for it in the dictionary and find its
translation in French.

   (2) When I'm writing a paper in English, I sometimes need an English
translation of some french words or expressions.

     If anyone knows where I can find such a dictionary, many thanks in
advance for his/her reply either by e-mail or in this newsgroup!
