Hi there,
I was just using your wonderful program xwebster, and I can't seem to
get it to look up "summated" It's not that long of a word, but it keeps
crapping out, and giving me this error message...
The webster servers have failed to answer the request to look up your word.
This could be because the webster server is down, or because your word is
too long and the server can't find it. Try looking up "tree" -- if that
works, then you've probably misspelled your word. If it fails, then send
mail to bug-sipb@ATHENA.MIT.EDU to let the SIPB know that the servers are
broken.
It finds "tree" and other simple words fine.
Just summation seems to kill it (at least during the last 15 minutes or
so...
