In the source for xwebster, it says the online Webster's Dictionary is available from sri-nic, among other places. I can't find it on sri-nic, nor anywhere else. Can someone point me in the right direction for anonymous ftp access? Thanks much, --eric

The source to Webster's dictionary is not freely available. When the original version was put on-line, they forgot to scan in the copyright. While this made it legal to give away copies all over the place, it was not an ethical thing to do. Ethics caught up with technology (this time), and the free offers have basically all been withdrawn. Sorry. /r$ -- Please send comp.sources.unix-related mail to rsalz@uunet.uu.net.
