would be grateful for any information on the following:
1. What are best methods of keeping complex dictionary
databases? Commercial database software, specialist software for
creating dictionaries or what? What is available?

2. How is it best to integrate a dictionary datbase so as to
have access to corpora on line so as to be able to edit the entries?
What are the methods currently being used in commercial and academic
projects?

3. Where can I find info on transforming the database (in whatever format)
into typeset text or feed it into a DTP system?

If this is the wrong place to ask such questions,
I would be grateful for advice as to where I could get help.
