Dear NeXTers,
Does anyone know how to use Webster from another machine (with rlogin or
rsh) ?
What I'm looking for is a way of accessing the database with an ascii
terminal only (without the pictures of course). It could be sth like:
$ rsh my-next "webster word"
[...give the definition...]
I saw nothing about that in the manuals, is it possible ?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Christophe.

There is an application called "define" somewhere on the NeXT servers on the net. Check this one out...

media-lab.media.mit.edu (18.85.0.2) has available our quick and dirty hack for doing webster lookups on a NeXT machine. The file is next-webster.tar.Z someone else did a much better network version, but I don't remember who. pasc -- Pascal Chesnais, Research Specialist, Electronic Publishing Group Media Laboratory, E15-348, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Ma, 02139 (617) 253-0311 NeXTmail: lacsap@plethora.media.mit.edu

Steve Hayman at indiana

Has a websterd that allows lookups from remote machines via a cleint
webster or xwebster.
Ask Steve for the source for websterd or just check his machine I think
the thing may be available via anonymous ftp.
The cleints programs are via uunet or any other news archive.

It could be sth like: >$ rsh my-next "webster word" If you use my "define" program found in cs.orst.edu, you can do "rsh my-next "define word" " It's sourced and documented (well...) and is a good example of how to access webster's from a pure C/Unix program. - jiro ^ jiro@heights.cit.cornell.edu
