4/27 Is there a thesaurus on csua? Something like dict. \_there is an old [1911?] copy of roget's that is part of gutenberg. there is a perl interface to this called th, and an emacs library thesauraus.el ontop of that. the emacs interface is reasonable. using the perl one directly from the shell was kinda lame. i am not sure this made it in the soda3-> soda4 or soda4->sodaV upgrade. it should be easy to get it going again. --psb \_ Or you can go to http://www.m-w.com for more recent dictionary and thesaurus (unless of course you absolutely need it on the local machine). |
