RE: SCOTTISH GLOSSARY

I don't know whether it might be an improvement, but there seems to be a potential 3 to 1 reduction in file size if the Scottish Glossary is formatted as a Dictionary entry rather than as a table.

My wimpmobile machine (Win98, 64MB) wouldn't convert the whole thread in one pass, but did it in two.
My attempt to send the resulting 456K file broke off at about 50K, but there seems to be some reduction in total file size. I certainly didn't get multiMegs.

I'll forgo further messing with it, until I hear from some experts about whether this is an improvement, but I can provide fairly detailed description of the approach used.

PM me if it looks like it might be helpful, or ignore if not.

I'm off to Winfield in a few days, so may be out of touch after next weekend.
