This dictionary is not on line (AFAIK) so I have had to copy the definitions from a purchased edition. Some of the special dictionary marks did not copy properly. Sorry.

Right, but that is just the server and the client, not the data. When you ask "dict" for a word is has to ask to some server in the Internet: not practical as I don't have a permanent connection. Or you can download some dictionaries and install them for dictd. For example, you can get the 1913 Webster (I forgot where from), make the databases, and install them locally. The same for some other dictionaries - - but all I have are outdated and incomplete dictionaries. If I want a real good dictionary, I have to pay for it, and I'm not sure it will even work in Linux (and at least in Spain, the CD is way more expensive than the paper edition). - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDHjR8tTMYHG2NR9URArEzAJ94cYTTCemTuBRp84gTyXvW1nmpjgCfUI96 h0c6oCQDb0OOoQx3cYcXAsE= =xLoI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
