Description:

nldict is a Ruby interface to the on-line Van Dale "Groot Woordenboek Hedendaags Nederlands", a renowned dictionary of the modern Dutch language. It can be used to obtain spelling, grammatical information, and the definition of all words in the dictionary.

Changes in 1.0.0:

Van Dale Web site changes had once again broken nldict.

The warning quelled in 0.9.3 was still shown when looking up more than one word.

The Van Dale Web site now outputs UTF-8, so nldict does this, too.

Changes in 0.9.3:

A warning issued under Ruby >= 1.8 has been quelled.

The program now shows its version number when displaying its usage message.

Changes in 0.9.2:

Changes to the Van Dale Web site broke nldict. This has now been fixed.

Changes in 0.9.1:

This version works correctly with thw http.rb in Ruby 1.8.

Versions:

[1.0.0 (2008-03-24)] [0.9.3 (2005-01-04)] [0.9.2 (2003-06-11)]
