[dict-beta] Fwd: Cheap web interface for dict

[Rik F. <fa...@di...>]

There might be interest in this on the dict-beta list.

Note that the system-wide configuration file (dict.conf) can be used to
specify localhost with the following line:
    server localhost

Thanks for your contribution.

Here is a cheap web-interface to dict that I hacked up.
It's server-parsed html and requires sed.
If you deem it worthy, I'd like to see it placed on the
"available software" page of your site so the next guy
can use it, too.

Oh, and another trick I did was to rename /usr/bin/dict
to /usr/bin/dict.real and put the following script in as
/usr/bin/dict to reference my own dictd server by default:

#!/bin/sh
dict.real -h localhost "$*"

Works for me!

Thanks for the great product!
