- Why should I compile the webster program? What I meant was that I
- couldn't change the value of "websterhost" in /etc/hosts. But looking at
- the manual page I saw that it should suffice to set a local environment
- variable WEBSTERHOST, which I did. Now, I don't know if this gave me
- the Indiana webster dictionary or not, but it was certainly not the
- Next one. "webster peckerwood" is a simple test.
