And thanks for yours! I'd say edict.el is in good hands.

I've got it working on XEmacs 20.3. Had to install it manually. Hmm
... had to? Well, I did, anyway. But it wasn't too tough, I just had
to fiddle with the dictionary path. Actually, I think I ended up
adding '/usr/local/lib/xemacs-20.3' to 'package-path'. It's great to
finally have a byte-compiled edict!
