Description: Dictionary Client
 dict is the client that queries the dictd server.  Since it is TCP
 based, it can access servers on the local host, on a local network,
 or on the Internet.
 .
 The DICT Development Group maintains several public servers which can
 be accessed from any machine connected to the Internet.  The default
 configuration is to query one of these servers first, but this may be
 changed in the configuration file /etc/dictd/dict.conf.
 .
 Queries may be customized by numerous command line options, including
 specifying the database(s) to be queried and the search strategy to
 be used.
 .
 dict includes dictl, which simplifies using utf-8 encoded dictionaries
 with terminals that do not support utf-8.
