More or less, yes, it can, but currently it is a bit unusable since it takes forever to start (it has to parse the index file(s), and parsing is written in python - rewritting it in C is on my TODO list) On my 600MHz PIII it takes about 15 seconds, with about 50 index files (20MB total size) in /usr/share/dictd > run from inetd, since I run dict about 3 times a week, and my laptop is > typically offline and has onlt 64mb core. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- | Radovan Garabik http://melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk/~garabik/ | | __..--^^^--..__ garabik @ melkor.dnp.fmph.uniba.sk | ----------------------------------------------------------- Antivirus alert: file .signature infected by signature virus.
