    Well - it's certainly on topic! :-)

    this is what I find:
    # dict -d moby-thesaurus quit
    moby-thesaurus is not a valid database, use -D for a list
    No definitions found for "quit"

    and:
    # dict -D moby-thesaurus
    Databases available:
     elements Elements database 20001107
     web1913 Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
     wn WordNet (r) 2.0

    No definitions found for "moby-thesaurus"

    I obviously have a slight problem. Maybe something to do with
    etc/dictd/dict.conf?
    I would guess I have somehow to extract those databases, but
    moby-thesaurus.dict.dz doesn't seem to contain them (or at least I
    haven't found a way to unpack it. Arc (in KDE) shows only the one file
    within moby-thesaurus.dict.dz
