dictzip

compression utility for dictionary databases

This package provides a utility to compress dictionary databases with the LZ77 algorithm in a manner which is completely compatible with gzip(1), but using an extension that allows for random access to chunks of about 57kB without the overhead of decompressing the entire file. This package also includes dictunzip, to decompress dictzipped files, and dictzcat, for viewing dictzipped files.

dictd-server

(DICT)

dictd

dictionary server

This package provides a TCP-based server that allows a client to access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases. Many dictionary databases have been packaged for use with dictd. They are described in the /usr/share/doc/dictd/README.Debian.gz file. Either dict-gcide or dict-wn is essential for a useful English language dictionary server. It is strongly recommended that both be installed. If you are interested in computer terminology, it is recommended to install at least dict-jargon, dict-foldoc, or dict-vera. The client program, dict, is packaged separately and is needed on all machines that will use the server.
