A coding convertion ;; program can be used to use automatic recoding thus allowing databases in different ;; codings. ;; ;; The package provides several key bindings, which are customisation variables, ;; so you can change them easily without recompiling the package: ;; 1. `C-c d d' for running dict with options defined by customisation ;; variables described below. ;; 2. `C-c d r' for running dict on region as a single word. ;; 3. `C-c d m' for running dict on every word in the region. ;; 4. `C-c d s' for running dict to perform search on the given server. ;; 5. `C-c d S' to view similar words for the last dict run. ;; ;; Descriptions of all customisation variables are given below in their ;; definitions, and of cause you can find them in the customisation buffer ;; (External->Dict). ;; ;; I hope you find the program useful. And also I would like to know your ;; opinion about the program, improvement suggestions and of cause bug reports. ;; Mail them to ;;; Code: (require 'cl) (defgroup Dict nil "Browse DICT dictionaries." :prefix "dict-" :group 'external) ;;;; ;;;; Definitions of dict client parameter variables ;;;; (defcustom dict-servers '("dict.org" "alt0.dict.org" "alt1.dict.org" "alt2.dict.org") "Specifies the hostname for the DICT server.
