Dear Bill,

I just read your request concerning a German to English dictionary. As I am a 
graduate translator, I can evaluate, whether the dictionary is good or bad. The 
German - English version of the Langenscheidt is very poor, because you are 
directed to wrong translations because the description of the usage of each 
lemma is very poor. I personally prefer Collins: German-English, English -German 
dictionary", Collins, London & Glasgow (or Harper & Row, New York). The German 
edition, available in Germany is called PONS: Collins, Deutsch-Englisch, 
Englisch-Deutsch Großwörterbuch, Ernst Klett Verlag, Stuttgart. I don't know 
whether you can download this. But this is the best German-English Dictionary.

Further I downloaded some dictionaries in different languages for free at 
www.babylon.com  This is also a very excellent dictionary.

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,
Sylvia
