What is NOT included in this release:
The sound files for English and Catalan which are available with the web version of Dacco.  
The principal reason for this is that the files take up a considerable amount of space and,
even compressed, would make the release unmanageable.  
If, however, you are interested in getting hold of a copy of the audio files
(and, we must warn you, they currently require almost 90 meg of hard disk space),
please contact us at info@catalandictionary.org) and we'll see what we can do to help.

If you should experience problems or difficulties with any of the files included in this release,
please let us know so we can fix the problem for the next release.

We hope you enjoy this 0.9 release of Dacco and that those who downloaded earlier versions will note the
continued progress that has been made.  We would very much like to ensure that further releases 
of Dacco meet user needs, wishes and expectations as closely as possible.  
This is only feasible if users are prepared not only to provide us with 
feedback, but also to get actively involved in the dictionary creation process.  

If you would like to help develop Dacco further, please contact info@catalandictionary.org
