Package: dictd (1.10.2-3.1)

Dictionary Server

dictd is a TCP based server that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases.

Many dictionary databases have been packaged for debian. They are discussed in more detail in the file /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz

Either dict-gcide or dict-wn is essential for a useful English language dictionary server. It is strongly recommended that both be installed. If you are interested in computer terminology, it is recommended that one or more of dict-jargon, dict-foldoc, and dict-vera also 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.
