Re: How to make Emacs popular again.

[Eduardo Ochs]

In brief:

  dict        - dictionary client
  dictd       - dictionary server
  dict-gcide  - Comprehensive English Dictionary
  dict-jargon - dict package for The Jargon Lexicon
  dict-wn     - electronic lexical database of English language for dict
                ("WordNet(C) is an on-line lexical reference system...")
  dict-foldoc - FOLDOC dictionary database

I obtained that by running

  apt-cache show dict dictd dict-gcide dict-jargon dict-wn dict-foldoc
  apt-cache show dict dictd dict-gcide dict-jargon dict-wn dict-foldoc
| grep Description

and tinkering with the output a bit.

  Cheers,
    E.
