It used to be on expo.lcs.mit.edu:oldcontrib, but that directory disappeared... I just put a slightly updated xwebster distribution on expo.lcs.mit.edu, directory contrib, file xwebster.tar.Z. I've updated the xwebster.README file to include information on compiling, troubleshooting, where to find libXw, etc. I've also appended a number of articles I've picked up from USENET about the availability, illegality, and non-availability of dictionary servers. Other additions: directory xwebster/patches contains some untested patches that I've received; file xwebster.xbm contains an X bitmap for xwebster, suitable for use by window managers. Note that I'm providing this software as-is, without any support. If you send me mail asking questions on how to get it working, I may or may not answer depending on how busy I am. NOTE THAT ALL REQUESTS ON HOW TO OBTAIN/ACCESS A WEBSTER DICTIONARY SERVER WILL BE "CHEERFULLY IGNORED." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Niels Mayer -- hplabs!mayer -- mayer@hplabs.hp.com Human-Computer Interaction Department Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Palo Alto, CA. *
