Wiktionary for dictd - where to obtain?
I have `dictd` installed and some dictionaries. I'd like to add Wiktionary but websearch does not find it, only bilinguals based on it. Any idea how/where to obtain one? Maybe make into `dict` format from other?

How do I tell dict to give output from a subset of dictionaries?
When installing dict, by default I got this - [$] dict appease 1 definition found From English-Hindi FreeDict Dictionary ver. 1.5.2 [fd-eng-hin]: appease 1. संतुष्ट~करना "Shop keepers try their best to appease their customer."

When installing dict, by default I got this -
[$] dict appease
1 definition found
From English-Hindi FreeDict Dictionary ver. 1.5.2 [fd-eng-hin]:
appease
1. संतुष्ट~करना
"Shop keepers try their best to appease their customer."
"The owner appeased his workers by granting them bonus."
Probing the man-page came to know that the program used only two servers -
[$] dict -D
Databases available:
vera V.E.R.A. -- Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (February 2016)
fd-eng-hin English-Hindi FreeDict Dictionary ver. 1.5.2
Then made a local dot file and made the following entries in it -
┌─[shirish@debian] - [~] -
└─[$] cat ~/.dictrc
1 server dict.org
2 server dict0.us.dict.org
This resulted in getting some results -
[$] dict appease
