Over the years, there have been a number of different "dictionary lookups" for emacs.


The original one was Webster.el ... from back in the days when NeXT included a Webster server.

After that got squashed for copyright reasons, other entities occurred.

Xemacs used to "ship" with:

/usr/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/net-utils/webster.el

don't know if it still does or not, haven't installed a new version of Xemacs for several years now.
