GUIDE TO IED
There are certain browsers, (old versions of Microsoft Explorer among others) that are inclined to inadequate capabilities in displaying appropriate Unicode fonts. Consequently the majority of Indo European derivatives included in this study are often unintelligible. In order to view the full gamut of Indo European cognates, the reader must install Unicode fonts available for free online otherwise Microsoft Office XP is the necessary software to overcome the compatibility glitch.
Another unpalatable hurdle is the limited bandwidth that many web host servers can offer per month, including the infamous Yahoo which has reduced the urban pleasure of information highway into a 3 GB village track. The problem was addressed by linking the main Indo European Etymological Dictionary website to other baby sites. Consequently there was an artificial increase of the bandwidth from 3 GB to 21 GB a month. This feat was achieved by splitting the dictionary into six parts.
In order to dodge the big labyrinth of Chinese boxes it is better to stop paying the piper to free web hosts. Avoid the frustration by simply installing the WinZip program in your personal computer.
The address of the most popular compression utility for Windows is http://www.winzip.com - You can download it there for free.
After installing WinZip program for free, the quick reader can download the whole dang file, I mean the entire Indo European Etymological Dictionary, in a flash the whole dang file. It is a relatively small zipped file of the size 3131 KB. An average modem can download this file (smaller than a song in MP3 format) in a matter of minutes.
