   I believe we have the text of Webster's seventh.

   ANyway, my Webster's new collegiate has s/massive/in massive form/
   but I don't think we can change the length of dictionary entries,
   because then the index files would be off.

Actually, the index files can be rebuilt (although it takes an
obnoxiously long time to actually build them :-), but we don't really
make a practice of correcting mistakes in the dictionary.  There are
simply too many of them.
