After upgrading to 3.0, I noticed that /usr/local/etc/websterd (as
obtained from cs.indiana.edu, /pub/webster) no longer works.  After a
little detective work I discovered this could be fixed by copying the
old dictionary files from the 2.1 OD (Dictionary.nxbf and
Thesaurus.nxbf) back into the regular locations
(/NextLibrary/Refrences/ Webster-[Dictionary,Thesaurus]).  (The
filenames of the new versions don't have the .nxbf suffix, so both
versions can coexist.)

Anyway, that's OK as a workaround, but... is there any word of
a new version of websterd that can access the new dictionary
format?
