Dict Client uses the internet standard "dict" protocol to communicate with online dictionaries. It comes setup to search "dict.org" allowing you to look up words in the following free on-line dictionaries:

• "Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)"
• "WordNet (r) 1.6"
• "U.S. Gazetteer (1990)"
• "Jargon File (4.0.0/24 July 1996)"
• "The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98)"
• "The Elements (22Oct97)"
• "Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary"
• "Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)"

NOTE: Although the default server is dict.org, you can change the server to whatever you want (if you have another dictionary somewhere).

What's New:
Now is Mac OS X native
Hypertext navigation of related words
Keeps a history of previously looked up words.
