Emacs package for talking to a dictionary server, which can be used to
access several dictionaries using a simple protocol as defined in RFC
2229 (Text Version).
The dictionary mode provides the following features:
* looking up word definitions in all dictionaries
* search for matching word
* words/phrases marked with { } in the dictionary definitions are recognized
as hyper links and browseable
* easy selection of dictionary and search strategy
* backward moving through the visited definitions
* in the latest versions of GNU Emacs and XEmacs you get support for popup
menus
* in GNU Emacs 21 and XEmacs 21 you can lookup words by simply pointing the
mouse cursor to them (tool-tips)
* supports HTTP proxies for port forwarding
* supports dictionaries which are not encoded as utf-8
