I can't seem to find it-you know, the one that requires a monthly fee and that is supposed to be very high quality?

I guess you mean Kenkyusha's New Japanese-English Dictionary (新和英大辞典, Shin wa-ei daijiten)

http://kod.kenkyusha.co.jp/service/

thank-and where is the site that uses that dictionary, but is free?

That can't be possible, that would be illegal.

Excite online dictionary includes:

* Kenkyusha's JE and EJ (but the mid size dictionary, not the big subscription version)
* Daijirin by Sanseido for JJ

Cheers

Ah, I have the big version on my computer... seems the middle version is quite alright though.

just out of curiosity by "on your computer" do you mean a software version of the dic, or the one online?
