NeXT Websterd 2.0 beta
Still under development - some commands described below haven't
been implemented yet.
This daemon works in much the same way as the standard Webster daemon,
plus it can access both the NeXT's on-line dictionary and thesaurus.
Commands are in the same format as the old websterd, with the addition
of an INDEX command.
See the original websterd documentation for full details
DEFINE word - look up a word in the online dictionary (or thesaurus)
COMPLETE word - complete the word if unambiguous
ENDINGS word - produce list of endings
SPELL word - indicate if spelling is correct, or possible alternates
INDEX indexname - choose which index we want to use, possibilities are:
INDEX dictionary the default
INDEX thesaurus the Webster's Thesaurus
INDEX dictionary-full the full content dictionary index
HELP - print this message
QUIT - You know, 'quit'.
Characters may occasionally be printed in hexadecimal inside brackets,
like this: [0xa][0x6d] - these represent various special dictionary
characters that I haven't figured out how to deal with yet.
