Need network dictionary-definition server program

[Mark-Jason Dominus]

	We want to have a dictionary definition service like `webster'.
A user should be able to run a client program, specify a word, and
receive the definition of the word from the server.  Our Webster server
ran on a NeXT machine and hasn't worked since we upgraded the OS.

	Most prefereable would be source code for client and server
programs to run under BSD UNIX.  (We would probably be running under
SunOS 4.1.)  If no such program exists, we would settle for writing it
ourselves, but we would need an on-line dictionary for that, and good
dictionary databases seem to be hard to come by.

	Can anyone point me either at complete software packages that do
what we want, or at possible sources of dictionary databases?
