Polyglossum dictionaries

[J.W.]

Ottawa (Canada), Monday 23/2/04 20h25 EST

Hullo, SEELANGers!

I should be interested in knowing if any SEELANGS member has tried out
any of the Polyglossum dictionaries on the site:
http://www.ets.ru/pg/r/index.htm
(particularly the Russian-English-Russian), either by downloading or
purchasing a CD, and if so, what results and impressions they have had
from working with these materials.  I am particularly interested in the
"Bol'shoj obshcheleksicheskij slovar'" for US$9.- (which seems to be a
great bargain).

Two secondary questions:
(a) does anyone know if these dictionaries will work with Mac OS 9?
(b) has anyone heard of any security problems ordering by credit-card
on-line from a .ru site, or is it just as secure as ordering on-line
from a Western country?

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
