The Oxford Interactive Encyclopedia (Oxford/TLC, £39.99, ISBN 07 630 14
04 4) is an astonishing CD-ROM, incorporating 13 reference volumes (including
the Standard Oxford and other dictionaries), adds impressive multimedia
features, and links to sites on the Internet (inactive in the launch version).
It is remarkably similar to Compton’s rival title (£10 cheaper).
