Notre Dame/NIST Lines: 19 Hello! I picked up ``webster.el'' from the net: it is an Emacs interface to Webster dictionary servers, allowing to retrieve the definition and spelling. The idea is great, but when I tried to use it, neither of the Internet addresses given in the text of ``webster.el'' (bu-it.bu.edu and sri.nic) seemed to work as a Webster server. I found out that bu-it.bu.edu has discontinued the ftp services, so I tried its replacement, bu.edu---no luck there either. Please pass me on any information on this topic you might have. PLEASE E-MAIL if possible. Greetings -- przemek klosowski (przemek@ndcvx.cc.nd.edu) Physics Department University of Notre Dame IN 46556
