The Century Dictionary Online in DjVu
10,000 pages scanned and online. Incredible resource. Note for those who don't install the DjVu plugin they provide JPEG scans.

The Century Dictionary Project, another innovative offering from Global Language Resources, introduces a unique approach to publishing dictionaries online. It presents the magnificent Century Dictionary, perhaps the most beautiful authoritative dictionary of all time, in DjVu format. DjVutm, a product of LizardTech, is an amazingly flexible image compression technology developed by researchers at AT&T Labs which allows very high quality page images to be compressed to a size suitable for delivery over the Internet. For more information about DjVu, visit the DjVu Zone website. The imaging services for The Century Dictionary Online have been generously provided by Princeton Imaging.

Several months ago I bought the Century Dictionary and have yet been able to get pass the words and into the dictionary. I had two computer wizards work on the problem and they think my computer is missing a vital adapter. Could get back to me and explain what I have to do to get into the dictionary. thanks
