2007-01-10Import dictem version 0.81 from pkgsrc-wip, packaged by Aleksey Cheusov.obache1-0/+12
This is newer version than PR 33203. DictEm is a customizable DICT client for (X)Emacs. It implements all functions of the client part of the DICT protocol (RFC-2229). Unlike dictionary.el, it widely uses autocompletion that is used for selecting a dictionary and search strategy. It also provides several hooks that may be used for buffer postprocessing. Built-in hyperlinking and a highlighting mechanisms are based on this ability. Also, DictEm supports the mechanism of virtual dictionaries that can be used for grouping dictionaries from _different_ DICT servers into the client-side virtual dictionary. Fore information about dictionary protocol and DICT project, see http://www.dict.org.
