Greetings--
For those of you interested in a free thesaurus, there is one available from http://www.mobysaurus.com/index.php?opt ... e&Itemid=1
Here are details from the site:
---------------------------------------------------
"Mobysaurus Thesaurus
Free, comprehensive, feature-rich, easy-to-use, off-line English thesaurus
that helps you write and speak better by leading you to the right word for every purpose or occasion.
- 30,000+ Headwords and 2,500,000+ Synonyms
- Fast and full-featured wildcard Search
- Look up words within most programs
- Cross-referencing
- WordWeb support
- Fast find related/synonymous headwords
- Free. No Spyware. No Adware. No Viruses.
and more...
This program is free for personal, non-commercial use.
All of the software from DonationCoder.com is freeware. You can use the full versions without any limitation, and no payment is necessary. The reason we require people to download a license key from us is to get them to take a look at our website and think about whether they might be willing to make a donation to this site.
In order to encourage people to really consider making a donation, we have adopted a somewhat unusual policy for people who do not donate:
The freeware license key generated here will remove the reminder nag from the program for 6 months.
After 6 months the reminder will come back and you must return to this page to generate a new license key which will last for another 6 months.
After 1 year from your initial signup you can return to this page for a permanent non-expiring license key.
You don't have to make a decision right now, but for those who do choose to donate now we have a whole bunch of extra special benefits.
Once you make a donation of any amount (may be as little as 1 cent), you'll shortly receive a permanent non-expiring license key to all existing and future Mobysaurus Thesaurus software releases."
