+* OVERVIEW
+==========
+This document describes the GNU version of the Collaborative
+International Dictionary of English.  It is organized into a series of
+chapters, introduced by headings beginning with a single asterisk.  A
+chapter may have sections, which are marked with two asterisks.  For
+those readers who use Emacs, this structure corresponds to its
+"Outline mode", which will be enabled automatically upon loading this
+file.
+
+The chapter "INTRODUCTION" describes the structure of this package.
+The chapter "STRUCTURE OF THE DICTIONARY" describes the dictionary
+structure in general.  An overview of the markup tags is provided in
+the chapter "TAGS".  A detailed information about dictionary markup
+can be obtained from a set of ancillary files included in this
+package, which are described in the chapter "ANCILLARY FILES".
+
+The chapter "DICTIONARY LOOKUP" describes how to use GNU Dico for
+reading this dictionary.  Finally, other versions of the Webster
+dictionary are listed in the chapter "OTHER VERSIONS OF THE
+DICTIONARY".
+    
+* INTRODUCTION
+==============
+The dictionary was derived from the
+         Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
+                 Version published 1913
+               by the  C. & G. Merriam Co.
+                   Springfield, Mass.
+                 Under the direction of
+                Noah Porter, D.D., LL.D.
+
+and has been supplemented with some of the definitions from
+           WordNet, a semantic network created by
+              the Cognitive Science Department
+                 of Princeton University
+                  under the direction of
+                   Prof. George Miller
+
+and is being proof-read and supplemented by volunteers from around the
+world.  This is an unfunded project, and future enhancement of this
+dictionary will depend on the efforts of volunteers willing to help
+build this free resource into a comprehensive body of general
+information.  New definitions for missing words or words senses and
+longer explanatory notes, as well as images to accompany the articles
+are needed.  More modern illustrative quotations giving recent
+examples of usage of the words in their various senses will be very
+helpful, since most quotations in the original 1913 dictionary are now
+well over 100 years old.
+

+
+* STRUCTURE OF THE DICTIONARY
+=============================
+When the archive is unpacked, the main dictionary text of the GCIDE
+will be found in 26 files named "CIDE.*", where the asterisk indicates
+which letter of the alphabet begins the words in each file.  For
+example, file "CIDE.B" contains words beginning with the letter "B".
+Additional information about the tagging conventions and special
+character symbols are contained in ancillary files in this directory
+(see below the section entitled "ANCILLARY FILES").  The main body of
+the 1913 dictionary was essentially identical to the edition published
+in 1890, and was republished in 1913 with an appendix containing "New
+Words".  The new words of that appendix have been integrated into the
+main file in this version.  However, it is important to keep in mind
+that the definitions in this dictionary are in most cases over 100
+years old.  Use them with caution!
+
+At the bottom of each paragraph in this dictionary, there is a
+bracketed and tagged "source" indicated.  This tells from where the
+definition or other text in that paragraph came, as follows:
+
+[<source>1913 Webster</source>]
+  =  From the original 1890 dictionary.
+[<source>Webster 1913 Suppl.</source>]
+  =  From the 1913 "New Words" supplement to the Webster.
+[<source>WordNet 1.5</source>]
+  =  From the WordNet on-line semantic network.
+[<source>Century Dict. 1906.</source>]
+  =  From the Century Dictionary published in 1906, especially from
+          the "proper Names" supplement (volume IX).
+                                     published
+[<source>XXX</source>]
+   = Added by one of the volunteers.
+
+The original definitions have been tagged and in some cases
+reformatted or slightly rearranged.  If substantive information is
+added from a second source, usually the additional source is also
+noted, as in:
+
+[<source>Webster 1913 Suppl.</source> + <source>WordNet 1.5</source>]
+
+This version is tagged with SGML-like tags of the form <pos>...</pos> 
+so that the original typography (italics, bold, block quotes) can be
+reproduced.  A list of the most important tags for fields in the
+dictionary is given below.  The tags also serve the more important
+function of allowing the information content to be conveniently
+imported into computer programs or databases.  The set of tags used is
+described in the accompanying file "tagset.txt".  ***NOTE*** the
+paragraph tags <p>...</p> do *not* always nest properly with certain
+other tags, such as <note> and <cs> ("collocation section"), which in
+some cases span multiple paragraphs.  If you are using a tag parser
+which detects improper nesting, you should first either delete the
+paragraph tags or convert them to non-tag symbols, or, if possible,
+set the parser to ignore the <p>...</p> tags.
+
+The unusual characters (such as Greek or the European accented
+characters, as well as special characters used in the pronunciations)
+are described in the accompanying file "webfont.txt".  Some
+information on the pronunciation system used may be found by viewing
+the file "pronunc.jpg", and additional explanations of pronunciation
+are in the file "pronunc.txt".
+
+Each paragraph of the original text is enclosed within tags of the
+form <p> . . . </p>.  Within these paragraphs there are no line
+breaks, and some of the paragraphs are over 12,000 characters long,
+which may prove too long to be handled by some editors.  At some
+points, embedded line breaks within a "paragraph" are marked by a <br/
+"entity".  The file can therefore be converted, if necessary, to a
+form with shorter lines, and subsequently reconverted back to the form
+having one line per paragraph.
+
+If additional line breaks are added, then in order to remove the line
+breaks and reconstruct the original paragraphs, so that the page width
+can be adjusted, perform the following manipulations:
+
+  (1) convert each line break to a space.
+  (2) convert the string "</p>  " (</p> followed by two spaces)
+     to </p> followed by two line breaks.
+  (3) convert the string "<br/ " (<br/ followed by one space)
+     to <br/ followed by one line break.
+     
+A more sophisticated formatting of spaces within paragraphs may
+require the use of the fully-tagged master files.  If you have a need
+for these files, contact Patrick Cassidy: cassidy@micra.com. 
+
+The approximate beginning of each page is marked by an SGML comment of
+the form <-- p. 345 -->.  (The exact beginning was in some cases in
+the middle of a paragraph, which we decided was not a good location
+for these page-number comments, so the page number was usually moved
+to the next paragraph break).  Pages which have been proofread by
+volunteers (e.g., with initials VOL) will have a note within that page
+comment: <-- p. 345 pr=VOL -->.  Pages which have not been proofread
+yet (most of them) will have varying numbers of typographical errors
+in them.   We still (January 2012) need proofreaders to get the errors
+out of these dictionary files. 
+
+** Warning
+
+This version is only a first typing, and has numerous typographic
+errors, including errors in the field-marks.  In addition, the user
+must keep in mind that this text is very old and will contain numerous 
+obsolete, inaccurate, and perhaps offensive statements, which are 
+included solely because this work is intended to reproduce accurately
+this historically interesting classic reference work.  This text should 
+not be relied upon as an accurate source of information, as in many
+cases it represents the state of knowledge around 1890.  The text is
+provided "as is", and the user must accept responsibility for all
+consequences  of its use. Please refer to the header of each file and
+the GNU public license.  If these conditions of use are unacceptable,
+please do not use these texts.
+
+This electronic dictionary is also made available as a potential
+starting point for development of a modern comprehensive encyclopedic
+dictionary, to be accessible freely on the internet, and developed by
+the efforts of all individuals willing to help build a large and
+freely available knowledge base.  A large number of collaborators are
+needed to bring this dictionary to a more accurate, more modern,  and
+more useful state. Anyone willing to assist in any way in constructing
+such a knowledge base should contact Patrick Cassidy (see above).  All
+reports of errors will be gratefully received, and should also be
+transmitted to PC at: pc@worldsoul.org.
+
+* TAGS
+
+Most important tags used in the GCIDE:
+
+<hw> tags the headword
+<pr>          pronunciation
+<pos>         part of speech
+<ety>         etymology
+<ets>         "source" word within an <ety> field, usually foreign words
+<fld>         field of knowledge (e.g. Med. = medicine)
+<def>         definition
+<cs>          collocation section  (containing word combinations)
+<col>         collocation entry (word combination)
+<cd>          collocation definition
+<as>          illustrations of usage (within a <def>. . . </def> field)
+<au>          authority for a definition, or author of a quotation
+<q>           illustrative quotation -- in block quote format
+<au>          author of an illustrative <q> quotation
+<altname>     alternative name for the headword -- essentially a synonym
+<asp>         alternative spelling of the headword
+<syn>         list of synonyms for the headword
+<p>           paragraph
+<b>           bold type
+<it>          italic type
+
+For other tags, see the file "tagset.txt"

+
+* DICTIONARY LOOKUP
+===================
+The GNU Dico project contains a module for reading GCIDE files.  This
+distribution provides a configuration file "gcide.conf" which you can
+use with the "dicod" server in order to look up words in the
+dictionary.  See http://www.gnu.org.ua/software/dico for a description
+of GNU Dico, including links to download.
+
+The instructions below describe how to configure GNU Dico server
+(dicod) to access a copy of the GCIDE dictionary.
+
+1. Unpack the GCIDE dictionary;
+2. Copy the file "gcide.conf" to a directory where you keep your local
+configuration files (/etc or /usr/local/etc are usual choices).
+3. Replace the word GCIDE_PATH in the "gcide.conf" statement with the
+path to the gcide-0.51 dicrectory.  You can omit this step and use the
+-D option instead:
+4. Check the configuration file.  Run:
+          dicod --config /path/to/gcide.conf --lint
+If you skipped the step 3, supply the -D option with the acual path to
+the dictionary.  For example, if you copied "gcide.conf" to /etc and
+unpacked GCIDE to /usr/local, then run:
+          dicod --config /etc/gcide.conf -D GCIDE_PATH=/usr/local --lint
+If no errors are reported, then go to the step 5.
+
+5. Start "dicod".  Run the same command as described in step 4, but
+without the "--lint" option.  This will start the dictionary server
+which will be avaialble on localhost (127.0.0.1) port 2628.  The
+server provides extensive searching facilities.  It also parses the
+GCIDE markup and automatically reformats the articles before returning
+them.
+
+Now you can access the dictionary using dico (a GNU dictionary command
+line utility), or another dictionary client program (such as Kdict or
+the like).
+
+* OTHER VERSIONS OF THE DICTIONARY
+==================================
+There are several other derivative versions of this dictionary on the
+internet, in some cases reformatted or provided with an interface.
+Those that I am aware of are:
+
+** Dicoweb 
+----------
+This version of GCIDE is available online at the GNU Dico web
+site:
+
+  http://dicoweb.gnu.org.ua/?db=gcide
+
+The site provides extensive search facilities.  
+
+** Project Gutenberg
+---------------------
+In the extext96 directory of Project Gutenberg
+(http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext96), there is a version of the
+original 1913 dictionary, which is in the **public domain**.  The main
+files are labeled pgw050*.*.  The tags for that version are a subset
+of those used in this GNU version.
+
+** The DICT development group
+------------------------------
+This group has created a program to index and search this dictionary.
+The program can be downloaded and used locally, but at present is
+available only in a Unix-compatible executable version.  See their web
+site at http://www.dict.org.
+
+** The University of Chicago ARTFL project
+------------------------------------------
+Mark Olsen and Gavin LaRowe at the University of Chicago have
+converted the original 1913 dictionary to HTML and have provided an
+interface allowing search of the headwords.  When the supplemented
+version has developed sufficiently to warrant the effort, a similar
+searchable version may be posted there as well.  The search page is at:
+
+  http://humanities.uchicago.edu/forms_unrest/webster.form.html
+
+That page will provide links to other ARTFL projects and contact
+information for the ARTFL group, who alone can provide information  
+about the HTML version or interface.

-STRUCTURE OF THE DICTIONARY
----------------------------
-   When the archives are unpacked, the main dictionary text of 
-the GCIDE will be found in 26 files named "CIDE.*", where the
-asterisk indicates which letter of the alphabet begins the
-words in each file.  For example, file "CIDE.B" contains words 
-beginning with the letter "B".  Additional information about the 
-tagging conventions and special character symbols are contained in 
-ancillary files in this directory more information below).  The main 
-body of the 1913 dictionary was essentially identical to the edition
-published in 1890, and was republished in 1913 with an appendix 
-containing "New Words".  The new words of that appendix have been
-integrated into the main file in this version.  However, it is important 
-to keep in mind that the definitions in this dictionary are in most 
-cases over 100 years old.  Use them with caution!
-    At the bottom of each paragraph in this dictionary, there is a
-bracketed and tagged "source" indicated.  This tells from where the
-definition or other text in that paragraph came, as follows:
-
-[<source>1913 Webster</source>]
-  =  From the original 1890 dictionary.
-[<source>Webster 1913 Suppl.</source>]
-  =  From the 1913 "New Words" supplement to the Webster.
-[<source>WordNet 1.5</source>]
-  =  From the WordNet on-line semantic network.
-[<source>Century Dict. 1906.</source>]
-  =  From the Century Dictionary published in 1906, especially from
-          the "proper Names" supplement (volume IX).
-                                     published
-[<source>XXX</source>]
-   = Added by one of the volunteers.
-
-    The original definitions have been tagged and in some cases 
-reformatted or slightly rearranged.  If substantive information
-is added from a second source, usually the additional source is
-also noted, as in:
-[<source>Webster 1913 Suppl.</source> + <source>WordNet 1.5</source>]
-
-    A list of the ancillary files related to the GCIDE is appended at 
-the bottom of this "README.DIC" file.
-    This version is tagged with SGML-like tags of the form <pos>...</pos>
-so that the original typography (italics, bold, block quotes) can be
-reproduced.  A list of the most important tags for fields in the 
-dictionary is given below.  The tags also serve the more important 
-function of allowing the information content to be conveniently imported
-into computer programs or databases.  The set of tags used is described 
-in the accompanying file "tagset.web".  ***NOTE*** the paragraph tags
-<p>...</p> do *not* always nest properly with certain other tags, such 
-as <note> and <cs> ("collocation section"), which in some cases span
-multiple paragraphs.  If you are using a tag parser which detects
-improper nesting, you should first either delete the paragraph
-tags or convert them to non-tag symbols, or, if possible, set the 
-parser to ignore the <p>...</p> tags.
-    The unusual characters (such as Greek or the European accented
-characters, as well as special characters used in the pronunciations)
-are described in the accompanying file "WEBFONT.ASC".  Some information
-on the pronunciation system used may be found by viewing the files
-"WXXVII.JPG" and "PRONUNC.JPG" with a GIF viewer (or any web browser),
-and additional explanations of pronunciation are in the file 
-"PRONUNC.WEB".
-     Each paragraph of the original text is enclosed within tags of 
-the form <p> . . . </p>.  Within these paragraphs are no line
-breaks, and some of the paragraphs are over 12,000 characters long.
-These lines are too long to be handled by the vi editor, and probably
-by some other text editors.  At some points, embedded line breaks within 
-a "paragraph" are marked by a <br/ "entity".  The file can therefore
-be converted, if necessary, to a form with shorter lines, and subsequently
-reconverted back to the form having one line per paragraph.
-
-   If additional line breaks are added, then in order remove the 
-line breaks and reconstruct the original paragraphs, so that the 
-page width can be adjusted, perform the following manipulations:
-  (1) convert each line break (cr-lf combination) to a space.
-  (2) convert the string "</p>  " (</p> followed by two spaces)
-     to </p> followed by two line breaks (cr-lf combinations)
-  (3) convert the string "<br/ " (<br/ followed by one space)
-     to <br/ followed by one line break (cr-lf).
-There will be some "lines" (paragraphs) with over 12,000 characters,
-which may give trouble to some simple text editors.
-   A more sophisticated formatting of spaces within paragraphs may
-require the use of the fully-tagged master files.  If you have
-a need for these files, contact Patrick Cassidy: cassidy@micra.com.
-   The approximate beginning of each page is marked by an SGML
-comment of the form <-- p. 345 -->.  (The exact beginning was in some
-cases in the middle of a paragraph, which we decided was not a
-good location for these page-number comments, so the page number
-was usually moved to the next paragraph break).  Pages which have 
-been proofread by volunteers (e.g., with initials VOL) will have a 
-note within that page comment: <-- p. 345 pr=VOL -->.  Pages which have 
-not been proofread yet (most of them) will have varying numbers of 
-typographical errors in them.   We still (January 2012) need 
-proofreaders to get the errors out of these dictionary files.

-            OTHER VERSIONS OF THE DICTIONARY
-=============================================================
-
-   There are several other derivative versions of this dictionary 
-on the internet, in some cases reformatted or provided with an 
-interface.  Those that I am aware of are:
-
-(1) Project Gutenberg
----------------------
-   In the extext96 directory of Project Gutenberg (www.prairienet.org)
-there is a version of the original 1913 dictionary, which is in
-the **public domain**.  The main files are in the directory etext96,
-and sre labeled pgw050**.***.  The tags for that version are a subset
-of those used in this GNU version.
-
-(2) The DICT development group
-------------------------------
-This group has created a program to index and search this dictionary.
-The program can be downloaded and used locally, but at present
-is available only in a Unix-compatible executable version.
-See their web site at http://www.dict.org.
-
-(3)  The University of Chicago ARTFL project
----------------------------------------------
-Mark Olsen and Gavin LaRowe at the University of Chicago have 
-converted the original 1913 dictionary to HTML and have provided an
-interface allowing search of the headwords.  When the supplemented
-version has developed sufficiently to warrant the effort, a 
-similar searchable version may be posted there as well.  The
-search page is at:
-  http://humanities.uchicago.edu/forms_unrest/webster.form.html
-
-That page will provide links to other ARTFL projects and contact
-information for the ARTFL group, who alone can provide information 
-about the HTML version or interface.

+<!  FILE: authors.lst -- a Supplement to:
+         Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
+                 Version published 1913
+               by the  C. & G. Merriam Co.
+                   Springfield, Mass.
+                 Under the direction of
+                Noah Porter, D. D., LL. D.
+
+  comprising pages vii to xvi of that volume.
+
+NOTE: in the original printed volume, these authors were listed
+in three colums per page, each column also containing three subcolumns
+headed, respectively: 
+    Quoted in dict. as
+    Names in full
+    Dates
+
+   For convenience in computerized processing, the three subcolumns 
+corresponding to one entry were reorganized into paragraphs of three 
+lines, separated from other entries by two carriage returns.
+The first line in each entry corresponds to "Quoted in dict. as";
+the last line of each entry corresponds to "Dates" (But where the date 
+column was blank in the original, "ND" (NO date) appears in this list;
+the ND was not in the original dictionary); the second line corresponds 
+to "Names in full"; but in some cases where two names are given in the
+entry, there are two lines corresponding to the "Names in full", and 
+the date then appears on the fourth line of the entry.  Where two
+names are given in the "Names in full", sometimes two sets of
+dates were given in the third column, one set for each author.
+In this list, the birth and death dates are always on the last 
+line of each entry, and where two sets of dates are given, they 
+correspond to the birth and death dates of the two authors, 
+separated by a comma, and in the same order as the authors.
+   Where a single question mark appears after a date, this mark was
+present in the original dictionary and indicates uncertaintly about that 
+date.  WHere two question marks appear after a date, those question
+marks did not appear in the original dictionary, and this indicates 
+that the date (usually the last digit) is undecipherable in the
+printed version, and the best guess is given.
