William Wells) Organization: None, Ft. Lauderdale Lines: 18 Approved: bill@twwells.uucp (T. William Wells) I've seen a few references to a webster(1) server. I presume that it is online access to one of the Webster's dictionaries. My questions are this: 1) What exactly is it? Is it based on the CD-ROM Webster's? (Did you know that the OED is also available on CD-ROM?) 2) Is this a commercial product or a freely distributable product? 3) If the latter, which archives make it available? --- Bill { uunet | novavax } !twwells!bill (BTW, I'm may be looking for a new job sometime in the next few months. If you know of a good one where I can be based in South Florida do send me e-mail.)
