Wordweb plus iso
Posted: Fri Oct 02, 2026 8:30 am
I spent a day doing a project, finding all the free versions of Wordweb, I found some pirated versions of Wordweb Pro also, but I thought it would be nice to do a little bit on the historical evolution of a popular computer dictionary. The iso turned out to be about 8.8 gigs. I put it the Windows 98 directory and I also put Wordweb 5.5 on my running copy of 98, I still remember the first time I got a copy and wanted to see how meticulous it by looking up the word pooka, and, to my surprise, it is in that dictionary.
And it works great. I can highlight a word in Word, and puts the tray icon, and instantly it pops up with a definition. Nice job. It has been used globally since the late 90's for its cross-word finder for those who like cross-word puzzles.
I have a version from ever number 1 to 10, I did not include the current version, which can be got in many places on the net, the most extensive collections I have come across, start at 5.5 which is how I got that version, I think it was Filehippo.
I had to dig through shareware disks to fatten the project out.
I actually posted 2 of these but I was not satisfied with my first upload.
