Looking for a good French - English Dictionary

I've got some quite specific requirements for this, and have been frustrated that I can't find anything that meets them.

First of all, the dictionary should have a large number of definitions, and not just be a cut-down vocabulary for tourists, etc.

It's also important that the French definitions indicate whether the word is a noun, verb, or adjective etc and in the case of nouns, indicate the gender. The Lingvosoft dictionary that is pretty good in other respects only indicates gender when looking up the English word, which is IMO rather daft. Less important but nice would be phonetic pronunciations for the French words too.

What would be really nice, and what I'm especially looking for, is the facility to looks up tables of tenses for verbs. My paper dictionary does this by giving a reference to look up in a section at the back of it - this is the sort of thing that a computer is made to do with ease, so why hasn't anyone done it? Of course, if they have, please tell me. :)

So that's about it. All I'm really after is something that gives me everything I'd expect from a good paper dictionary, but as far as I can tell, nobody seems to have got their act together on the software front.
