[词典考据] Pleco 在 2006 年就收录了《现代汉语规范词典》

Greetings all,

A follow-up to my thread from last summer: we at Pleco Software have just signed a license for the 现代汉语规范词典, our very first Chinese-Chinese dictionary. There's a detailed website about it at http://gfcd.fltrp.com/. Thanks again to carlo for the suggestion. This dictionary should be premiering in our next big release (Pleco 2.0), which among other things will (we think) be our first product for desktop computers, so there's a lot to look forward to there.

I should also mention that we've recently posted a bug-fix update for PlecoDict; the new version, 1.0.3, is available for download for Palm and Pocket PC at http://www.pleco.com/download.html. We've also released a new English-to-Chinese business dictionary, the Cheng & Tsui English-Chinese Lexicon of Business Terms; there's a description of that at http://www.pleco.com/plecodict.html.

Happy St. Patrick's Day,

Michael Love

Our license for the 《现代汉语规范词典》 is up for renewal, and since the license is rather pricey and it hasn't actually proven quite as popular as we might have hoped we've been entertaining thoughts of replacing it with a different C-C title - this wouldn't affect anyone's right to use 规范 if they've already bought it, it would just mean we'd be selling a different C-C dictionary going forward.

Anything published by Commercial Press 商务印书馆 is out of the question - they basically don't license anything to anyone anymore as far as we can tell - so that eliminates the ever-popular 《现代汉语词典》and 《新华大字典》, but are there any C-C titles from other publishers that people have liked?

The 《现代汉语大词典》as featured on Youdao (do a search and then select the 汉语词典 tab) is from a publisher we know and like and seems to be pretty well-reviewed - anyone have any opinions on that one?
