MS Encarta?

[David Jones]

I have Encyclopaedia Brittanica here. The older versions 
might work. The newer/current versions probably won't - 
they require Internet Explorer and use a lot of ActiveX 
plugins that might have problems with WINE. Also, the 
newer versions are getting more interactive and 
multimedia centered, and (IHMO) reducing the content in 
favor of pushing you to their web site where they can 
try to get more money out of you ...
