1.1 OVERVIEW 

gdict is a small C/GTK+ program written to find definitions of arbitrary
words.  It contacts the MIT dictionary server and returns a definition.


1.2 INSTALLATION

First, read the ChangeLog file! 
Then just type 'make' at the prompt, followed by 'make install'.


1.3 USAGE

Enter a word in the top field and press the "Define..." button.  The
definition will show up in the text field below.  You can copy this text
to the clipboard.  Clicking the "Clear" button will clear both fields.

Or, you can start gdict on the command line with the following syntax:

$ gdict word

Where "word" is the word you want to define.  The definition will pop up
when the application starts.

Thanks, and enjoy!
