Hi Chuck: I tar'd up my entire /usr/share/dictd tree so you can just
throw away any dictionaries you are not interested in. You can grab it
from https://reisers.ca/dictd.tar.gz.

Hi Kirk,
I'd like to have the webster and the wordnet, only those. Sorry, can't
use debian packages. Many thanks.

Hi Chuck: I will happily give you the dictionary files I have for
dict. I have the webster, wn, a few german and a few more. If I have
the original debian packages I can give you those. If not, I'll zip up
the directory trees and you can just drop them in place.
