DICT

DICT is a dictionary network protocol created by the DICT Development Group. It is described by RFC 2229. Its goal is to surpass the webster protocol and to allow clients to access more dictionaries at the same time.

Several free dictionaries are available in the dict format:

• Free On-line Dictionary of Computing
• V.E.R.A
• Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
• WordNet
• Jargon File
• THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911)
• Elements database
• U.S. Gazetteer (1990)
• Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
• CIA World Factbook
• Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
• the freedict bilingual dictionaries
