Just saw this:
"Lane’s lexicon on CD is an invaluable tool for the Arabist"
The Journal of the Middle East Librarians Association
The Lane's Lexicon - This superlative masterpiece is now on CD-ROM. Access is by root followed by scrolling of a complete entry, with the option to print a desired portion. Also includes Preface by E.W. Lane and Memoir by Stanley Lane-Poole. Arabic is not required on your system since the software contains an embedded 'Virtual Arabic Keyboard'.
'It is a work of such fundamental importance and of such matchless excellence that praise for it is quite superfluous. Every Arabist since Lane has had good cause to bless him for his superhuman labours ... It is certainly true to say that every work produced in this century relating in any way to Arabic studies has drawn heavily on the Lexicon.'
Prof. A.J. Arberry
