Description: Dictionary Server
Dictd is a TCP based server that allows a client to access dictionary
definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases.
.
Eight dictionary databases have been packaged for debian. They are:
.
dict-web1913 - 1913 Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
(this package is in the non-free section)
dict-wn - WordNet 1.6, A Lexical Database for English
dict-jargon - Hacker's Jargon File
dict-foldoc - The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing
dict-elements - Chemical and Physical Properties of the Elements
dict-easton - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
dict-hitchcock - Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
dict-gazetteer - Database of Geographic Data from the U.S. Census
.
These packages are discussed in more detail in the file
/usr/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz
Either dict-web1913 (non-free) or dict-wn is essential for a useful
dictionary server. It is strongly recommended that both be installed.
It is desirable that either dict-jargon or dict-foldoc, or both of
them, be installed.
.
The client program, dict, is packaged in dict*.deb If you are
running a server, you will want the client for all machines in your
network, and for testing server operations.

Description: Dictionary Client
Dict is the client that queries the dictd server. Since it is TCP
based, it can access servers on the local host, on a local network,
or on the Internet.
.
The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can
be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet. The default
configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be
changed in the configuration file /etc/dict.conf.
.
Queries may be customized by numerous command line options, including
specifying the database(s) to be queried and the search strategy to
be used.
