Dictionary

- -

Dictionary is a Emacs1 package for accessing a -dictionary server providing word definitions. - -

The Request for Comments 2229 http://www.dict.org/rfc2229.txt -defines a protocol for communication between a dictionary client and a -dictionary server. The dictionary server keeps several databases -(containing dictionary definitions) and provides an interface for the -client to list the definition for a word and to search for words -matching to pattern. - -

This software implements the client side of that protocol. It allows -you to use a dictionary server (for example provided by the site -www.dict.org) from within Emacs. - -

Please note that the dictionary protocol uses the port 2628 which is -likely to be blocked by firewalls. It is possible to connect to the -dictionary server through a HTTP proxy similiar to the way HTTPS -connections on port 443 are relayed, See HTTP Proxy. - -
