+This Latin dictionary program takes keyboard input or a file of
+Latin text lines and provides an analysis/morphology (declension,
+conjugation, case, tense, etc.) of each word individually, the
+dictionary form, and the translation (meaning).
+
+ am.at V 1 1 PRES ACTIVE IND 3 S X
+ amo, amare, amavi, amatus
+ love, like; fall in love with; be fond of; have a tendency to;
+
+The dictionary contains over 30000 entries and, through additional
+word construction with hundreds of prefixes and suffixes, may
+generate more, leading to many hundreds of thousands of 'words'
+that can be formed by declension and conjugation. Present emphasis
+is on classical Latin and late Latin, but medieval Latin entries
+are increasing. WORDS provides a tool to help in translations for
+the Latin student and a memory jog for researchers.
