# REQUIREMENTS:
|
|
# + dict client software
|
|
# + an address of a dict server, for variable ${DICT_SERVER}
|
|
# + a name of a favorite database on that server, for variable
|
|
# ${FAVORITE_DATABASE}
|
|
# OPTIONALLY:
|
|
# + locally install a dict server (eg. dictd) and a collection
|
|
# of dict databases (eg. wordnet, aka "wn")
|
