Something Like Encarta

[Solomon Herscovitch]

Have you ever used Encarta?  I must say, it was one of just about two good
things done (1: SideWinder gaming hardware; 2: Encarta Encyclopedia).  It
had a very basic interface; based on dark colors, right angles, and solid
fill/no gradients; kind of like a black Fluxbox theme.  Everything tied
together, with links to other articles right in the text,
built-in-dictionary, animations, and media things like video time lines, and
knowledge-quest things to get you reading!  Actually, a lot of it does sound
like Wikipedia...  But, like Wikipedia as a program, with a bit more
'programmy' feel; not just a Website.  The other thing about it: it had
great content and function, all available offline.

But yeah, I bet it will work in WINE.
