+**************************************************************************
+
+Kdict is a graphical client for the DICT Protocol.
+It enables you to search through dictionary-like databases
+for a word or phrase, then displays suitable definitions.
+
+Kdict trys to ease basic as well as advanced queries. A separate list
+offers a convenient way to deal with the enormous number of matching
+words that a advanced query can return.
+
+The remainder of Kdict's user interface resembles a web browser:
+For instance, you can jump to the definition of a synonym by
+simply clicking on the highlighted word. The back/forward functionality
+is also implemented, enabling you to quickly go back to the result of
+previous queries.
+
+Kdict is able to  process the content of the X clipboard, so it's easy 
+to combine Kdict with your web browser or text editor.
+
+Kdict is now a real client, no additional software is needed.
+
+If your machine is behind a firewall, has no permanent internet
+connection or the server of dict.org is too slow for you, you can
+set up your own local server, all you need is available at
+http://www.dict.org.
+The advantages of a local server are optimal performance and
+the ability to install additional databases of your choice.
+The handbook contains a small tutorial for installation
+and links to databases.
