actually, this package, which i ripped and compiled from debian's latest sources, includes dict, dictd, dictfmt and dictzip
unfortunately, i found the package setup instructions quite cumbersome, and i am unable to devote too much time to maintain this package - so i was hoping someone with more experience could submit this package faster =) for the little that i was able to understand, i put together this makeshift setup.hint file: ___ category: Text Utils Net requires: cygwin sdesc: "DICT is a TCP dictionary server protocol" ldesc: "DICT is a TCP dictionary server protocol. dictd is a TCP based server that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases. 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." ___ I also have ready to submit the slightly modified src files (i had to remove a gcc "-lc" option, which prevented me from compiling dictd), and the binaries. I named them: dictd_1.9.11-1.tar.bz2 dictd_1.9.11-1-src.tar.bz2 I also "stripped" the binaries, and placed them in /bin directory So, yeah .. can someone please submit this package into cygwin =) .. i was surprised that dictd wasn't included yet - it's extremely useful
