Does anyone know of an electronic version of the complete OED? I know I could subscribe to the website, but I prefer an offline version.

I'd love to be able to add an old version to my Mac dictionary app.




I think it is still available on CD. I am not sure how feasible it would be to import that into Dictionary.app.


If you have the CD-Rom, you can try to use http://njw.name/oed2dict which is a set of scripts that convert the full Oxford English Dictionary v2 (CDROM version 3.0) into the jargon and DICT file formats. (This is based on a comment from "a well-known Swedish sharing platform", where a compressed DICT format of the Oxford English Dictionary could be available)
