The problem with the webster servers is that the data base is copyrighted; ergo, creating new webster servers is problematic at best. However, a recent computer (NeXT) comes packaged with the Webster database. Does anyone know of a webster server package for the NeXT? We have several of them on campus here, and I'd certainly like to use that database without having to switch machines. -- Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Illinois (grunwald@flute.cs.uiuc.edu)
