An associate and I are doing some work on parsing text and find the need
for an online dictionary and preferably, a thesaurus.

I have heard that there is a program called WEBSTER which is a dictionary
for unix but don't know any more than that.  Is it available/free/where
from?

If you know of any online dictionary or thesaurus, REGARDLESS OF SIZE
(even the "minimal" English), I'd like to hear from you, especially if
it's FTPable and FREE :-)


Thanks
Giovanni
