Just downloaded the Merriam-Webster dictionary, which unzips to a .pqa with no attached documentation.

It doesn't appear to be a self-contained utility like a .prc, and I can't read it with ISilo or CSpotRun.

Anyone out there able to tell me the simple fact that will make me smack my forehead and leave a dent?

factoid -

i've been looking for a downloadable dictionaary - now i don't have a palmvii (oh no, its an ovdx for me) but i wonder if it is downloadable as a doc or something else whence it came.

did you find it in a readable format? if so, where?

thanks,
matty

Best place to look is www.palmgear.com but I think the only dictionaries readily availble that will work on Handspring are buy-ware, not free- or share-.

Obviously, the Merriam-Webster won't work on my iVDx
