    Medical Dictionary? Not as far as i know.

    I think there is a latin dictionary, which might be somewhat helpful.
    If you can find a Medical Dictionary for Unix/Linux we might be able to
    get it to work or convert it to work with Abiword. If you have an
    extensive word list you might be able to get some one to help you make an
    Ispell dictionary.

    Abiword, abispell, dictionaries ...
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/abiword/
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=15518&release_id=78374

    I see a file called something link ... la-IT...RPM
    which is the ISO standard code for latin - Italy
    (RPM stand for the RedHat (Linux) Package Management system).

    If you are a windows user you will have to ask the developers really
    nicely and they will try and provide a version for windows as soon as
    possible.

    I was feeling generous and used google to STFW on your behalf
    this is a good place to start looking, but no medical dictionary to be found
    http://fmg-www.cs.ucla.edu/geoff/ispell-dictionaries.html

    http://wordlist.sourceforge.net/
    Kevin Atkinsons website, he sometimes reads the list hopefully he will
    spot this post and give his expertise.

    And after the time ive just spent trying to find out i say again:
    Medical Dictionary? Not as far as i know.

    Still it would be great if you could get a dictionary together. It would
    benefit a lot more than just Abiword users.

    Sincerely
    Alan Horkan
