Although I understand your concern, I would argue that the current Recommends: line is actually appropriate. You see, dictionary-el tries to communicate with the server in UTF-8 if possible (as RFC 2229 officially requires), but xemacs21 still lacks native UTF-8 support. :-/ There is a package called mule-ucs that more or less remedies this situation; however, it's relatively slow and clunky, so I preferentially recommend Emacs versions (GNU-only for now) that support UTF-8 natively. Moreover (and somewhat paradoxically), if you're running only XEmacs, you don't actually need dictionary-el at all, because it already bundles a copy (albeit of a slightly older version, 1.8.5 vs. 1.8.7.) Nevertheless, I appreciate your feedback, and apologize for not getting back to you sooner. -- Aaron M.
