- written in C++ to make it easier to interface with LibreOffice, OpenOffice, AbiWord, Pspell, etc
- it is stateless, uses no static variables and should be completely reentrant with no ifdefs
- it compiles with -ansi and -pedantic and -Wall with no warnigns so it shouldbe quite portable
- it uses a simple perl program to read the structured text file and create the index needed for binary searching
- it is very simple with *lots* of comments. The main "smarts" are in the structure of the text file that makes up the thesaurus data
- It comes with a ready-to-go structured thesaurus data file for en_US extracted from the WordNet-2.0 data.
- Please see WordNet_license.txt and WordNet_readme.txt for more information on the very useful project!
- See http://www.danielnaber.de/wn2ooo/ for utilities to regenerate an up to date English thesaurus from the most recent WordNet data.
