[comp.misc] Dictionary servers

acarlson@laurel.math.umass.edu (Adam Carlson) (05/07/91)

Hi, I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this type of request,
but... 

I am looking for a dictionary server... what I am hoping for is
something which you can mail to (or preferably finger or telnet to)
which will give possible spellings, definitions, and hopefully
thesaurus capabilities too.  I have heard mention of something called
a Webster server, is this what I want, and if so, where is it?

Now for the hard part.  Does anything like this exist for any foreign
languages?  I'm not to particular about which languages, but the more
the merrier.

Thanks
