Experiments to determine the characteristics of electromagnetic dissociation (ED) has been extended to high projectile charge and ultrarelativistic energies using /sup 139/La and /sup 16/O projectiles on /sup 197/Au targets. The gross features are reproduced in a Weizsaecker-Williams calculation but significant systematic deviations appear. The results are used as a guide in extending the calculations to the regime of energies and projectiles expected for planned heavy-ion colliders where Ed effects should comprise a major fraction of the total cross section
