The CD comes with the book cost extra $15. It's not worth. It does not have any feature as cross reference and pronouniciation. Buyers have to go on line for these features and pay for the subscription. If you need features like those buy Webster's Medical Dictionary. They have better CD.

The software works--as long a you ensure that you use the cd's 4.72 netscape browser. It was only through much correspondence with a helpful tech person that I was able to work the software issues. Let me clarify this. The browser is what you use view the contents of the CD: OFFLINE. It has nothing to do with logging on to the Internet. The Taber CD doesn't seem to work with the IE browser that comes with it (version 5.0). Later versions of Netscape DO NOT WORK. This has something to do with the java plug-ins. Eventually they'll have to come up with a new CD for medical students that need this. Backwards compatibility eventually will not be possible. Too bad for the problems--obviously the Taber regular dictionary is a standard medical reference tool. The digital pronunciation software that goes with it--is helpful for knotty words--for both native and non-native speakers. Kudos for that.
