  Required: Windows 95.

  A great program, it's small, but convenient. Besides looking for words, using the Dutch-English or English-Dutch lists, you can add your own words,practice words (with adjustable time-interval) and make your own list of words you want to practice.

• Ergane dictionary program (7.7 MB - unzipped it's 18.8 MB)
  Required: Windows 3.1 or higher.

  This program uses Esperanto as an intermediate language for translations, which means, that you incidently get some words that don't really match. Nevertheless, it's a big, but quite useful dictionary program. The zip file includes the word lists of English and Dutch, so the only thing you need to do is unzip it in a directory (map) you made for this and start the ergane.exe file.

  If you would like to have the word lists for other languages, click here. You can just unzip the word list files into the Ergane directory: the program will automatically use them.
