About the dictionary, if you have the dict package installed, here is
the HTML part:


------ html -----------------------
   <form name=dict method=get
    action=http://put_your_webserver_here/cgi-bin/dict.sh>
   <input type=text name=word value="">
   <input type=submit value="Get dictionary definition">
   </form>
-----------------------------------

And this is the dict.sh shell script to be put in the cgi directory:

------ cgi ------------------------
#!/bin/bash
export SEARCH=$(echo ${QUERY_STRING} | awk 'BEGIN{RS="&";FS="="} \
                $1~/^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$/ {printf "%s\n",$2}')
echo -ne "Content-type: text/html\n\n"
echo -ne "<html><head>\n<title>Search results for ${SEARCH}</title></head>\n"
echo -ne "<body bgcolor=#FFFFFF text=#000000>\n<pre>"
PAGER=cat /usr/bin/dict ${SEARCH}
echo -ne "</pre></body></html>\n"
