Tech Dictionary (English-German/German-English) -- Answers

[Michael Koch <mhkoch -at- SIRIUS -dot- COM>]

Hi there,

It has been said before and I say it again: if you have a problem turn to
your fellow techwr-lers, they disband the illusion of the lone writer
within minutes. :-)

Thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier email re dictionaries for
technical terms. Here's a summary of the responses I have received--I've
looked into the Web resources, and they look promising. I still have to
check out the print sources. The Ernst dictionary comes with high
recommendations as well as a stiff price tag, I've been told. Here
goes:

Resources in print:
-- _Ernst R. Comprehensive Dictionary of Engineering and Technology._
Volume I 
German-English, Volume II English - German. Oscar Brandstetter Verlag.
Wiesbaden.
--_Routledge German Technical Dictionary/Universal-Worterbuch der Technik
