As I said before, I'm very excited about this dictionary, and am�glad to see
it's online. Just a couple comments:��(1) For whatever reason, it doesn't
work in Safari (Mac OS X�10.4.10). The initial form shows up, but nothing
else shows up�on the page.��(2) Have you not entered any words into the
Taruven dictionary?�For example, I put a word I knew you had in
there--"man"--and�it returned nothing. Are we supposed to enter the Taruven
word?��-David�*******************************************************************�"A
