Re: Dictionary formats

All I have is the spreadsheet from Works 2002, which really isn't designed for
dictionaries, but you can open the .lex files from LangMaker if you just change
the extension to .xln or .xls or something like that....

It handles Unicode, but I'm running XP Home, so I don't know about whether or
not it does with non-NT-type systems.
