It used to be on expo.lcs.mit.edu:oldcontrib, but that directory
disappeared...

I just put a slightly updated xwebster distribution on expo.lcs.mit.edu,
directory contrib, file xwebster.tar.Z.

I've updated the xwebster.README file to include information on compiling,
troubleshooting, where to find libXw, etc. I've also appended a number of
articles I've picked up from USENET about the availability, illegality, and
non-availability of dictionary servers. Other additions: directory
xwebster/patches contains some untested patches that I've received; file
xwebster.xbm contains an X bitmap for xwebster, suitable for use by window
managers.

Note that I'm providing this software as-is, without any support. If you
send me mail asking questions on how to get it working, I may or may not
answer depending on how busy I am. NOTE THAT ALL REQUESTS ON HOW TO
OBTAIN/ACCESS A WEBSTER DICTIONARY SERVER WILL BE "CHEERFULLY IGNORED."
