Seems to me that having the dictionary, and the Thesaurus, integrated or
not, would be unusable on a floppy system. There would be no space for
all the files required. It sounds like an HD is required minimally either
way...so the disappointment to me is rather moot....in your environment,
you probably couldn't have it the way you wanted anyway...unless I am missing
something....
