NeXT changed the database format humungously at 2.0, and I'm working on a 
new version of the webster server.  I'll post a note to
"comp.sys.next" when it's ready to go, which I hope will be very soon.
(I have a bare-bones 2.0 version working now, that doesn't do
spelling correction or thesaurus lookups, if anybody's desparate.)
