Does anyone know of a electronic dictionary out there which is
in the public domain or very cheap for academic/research type
use? My wish list is that the lexicon have the following
qualities:
	* usable on a pc running DOS or OS2
	* contains word hyphenation and pronunciations
	* contains fairly complete definitions with part-of-speech
The only ones I am familiar with are either astronomically
expensive, lack much of what I need, or a trivial in size. I am
doing some NLP type stuff and any leads, help, etc will be greatly
appreciated.
