Hi listers,

I find myself working with more an more strangely written documentation, 
so I decided to buy an english technical dictionary. Some googling 
indicates that the "McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical 
Terms" is the most complete reference, but they don't seem to have a 
CDROM version. And browsing through 2,000 pages to find something is not 
exactly my dream idea of a weekend:)
Anyone knows/can recommend a good reference dictionary for technical 
english? With a CDROM version.

TIA
Dan CRACIUN
