Description-en: dictionary server
This package provides 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 use with dictd. They are
described in the /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz file.
.
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 to install at least dict-jargon, dict-foldoc, or
dict-vera.
.
The client program, dict, is packaged separately and is needed on all
machines that will use the server.
