The three versions of the computer dictionary are as follows:

1-NAD (New Arabic Dictionary) - for MS-DOS only. This version includes the Dictionary, Arabic Morphology and Vocabulary Drills. It would be useful on a laptop as a portable dictionary.

2- SAAD (Spelling Checker and Arabic Dictionary) - for Arabic Windows only. This version can attach itself to any document in Arabic Word and be used to look up the English meanings of words selected. It can also spell check the Arabic text.

3- ADAM (Arabic Dictionary and Morphology) - for English Windows. It can also be installed in Arabic Windows. This version is for Students of Arabic who struggle with recognizing roots and using a book dictionary. It allows the student to enter an Arabic word in a STRICT mode without prefixes or suffixes. It also allows the student to enter a word in a LOOSE mode with all prefixes and suffixes. In this case the Dictionary supplies the student with all possible roots and forms with English meanings. This is a time saver and a good way to learn Arabic. This version includes a program for Arabic Morphology (both synthesis and analysis), and another program for Vocabulary Drills with words chosen from the most frequently used Arabic words or directly from the Dictionary.

It may be noted here that the Dictionary and its related files are skilfully compressed to occupy only one 3.5 floppy diskette. Moreover, the Dictionary is very comprehensive based on the Arabic Dictionary al-Muhit al-Muhit and can look up an endless number of Arabic words since it accepts entries with prefixes and suffixes.
