I don't know anything about the DICT group and their dict package.
All I know is that wordnet 1.5 is fairly outdated and you should
download 1.6 from the wordnet ftp-server. If you are working on
a Debian wordnet package I would gladly support you with the automake
stuff I wrote to compile wordnet easily. If not I will spend my effort
on building the new upstream release in the same way the old one looked
like. Wordnet 1.6 comes with an advanced tcl/tk GUI which is easy to
use and works much better than the old interface.
