Under System 1.*, I had written several command line program that used the
"text" library to gain access to Webster's Dictionary. This program could
look up a definition and have it returned to my program without having to
launch Webster's from the console. Now, under System 2.0, I can't find
how, or if it is still possible, to recompile these programs to access the
dictionary.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks for any help, Sorry If this is an old topic!

BTW, you might want to look in the anonymous FTP directories pub/webster and pub/webster/NeXT-2.0 on iuvax.cs.indiana.edu; Steve Hayman's <sahayman@cs.indiana.edu> stuff may be all you need, or at least a good starting point. -=EPS=-

Does anyone know if the original version of Digital Webster will
run under 2.1?
