Would you send me a copy of the source, too?  From what I hear, the
version of edict.el current on Monash does not work at all under
FSFmacs 20.x.  I don't promise to do anything about that in a hurry;
I'm maintaining edict.el for XEmacs.  I promised Per Hammarlund that I 
would make efforts to get it to work with FSFmacs, but that's not top
priority.

edict.el works great with XEmacs 21.0 now, only issues left are some
packaging issues.  I see no reason why it won't work with XEmacs 20.3
or 20.4, I'm just being conservative.  If it doesn't fixing that is a
priority.  It will probably work with XEmacs 20.0 and 20.2, as much as
those ever work with Mule.

Probably I will release for beta testing before the weekend.  A more
or less :) current copy that may or may not work :) is in

if you're in a hurry.
