[SLUG] TIP: Thesaurus for Linux
Just thought I'd mention that an excellent thesaurus program for Linux called aiksaurus (command line), with a very good GTK front end too. I'm running an old version from 2001; I see that the old home page appears to have vanished, though, and it is now hosted at http://sourceforge.net/projects/aiksaurus/ There appears not to have been a formal release (use cvs instead), but even the very old version (0.15) I'm using is great! luke -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Another excellent thesaurus is wordnet. This is more oriented to linguistic applications than to helping humans to write, but the results are quite readable. It can be operated via command line, API or various web front ends.
