I'm considering getting the Encyclopedia Britannica and/or the Oxford
English Dictionary on CD-ROM, but I'm a little concerned that the data
may be in formats that FreeBSD doesn't understand (like a proprietary
browser that runs only under Microsoft).  Does anybody have any
experience with these CDs?  Other things that would be of interest
would be the relationship between the CD-ROM version and the printed
version (especially for the EB.  It seems that it would be difficult
to get that much information on a single disk).  And, of course, if
you know any places where the prices are good, that would help too.

Thanks in advance
Greg
