EARTHWORDS For Alien Dinosaurs -- Windows Evaluation Version ____________________________________________________________ When alien dinosaurs from the planet Dinopia landed on Earth, they were amazed to discover that we speak many different languages here. Taking their DinoFlex camera in hand, they began to explore our planet, recording the way different languages express the same common objects. The results of their exploration are recorded in EARTHWORDS FOR ALIEN DINOSAURS -- a version specially prepared for Earthlings by permission of the Dinopian High Council, and re-engineered for Earth voltage and PC computers running Windows by Right to Left Software and Editions Renyi in Toronto.
