Well lookey here;
WinThesaurus went from v1.1 to v1.2 without my knowing about it, until
now:

WinThesaurus version 1.2 — An English language thesaurus
WinThesaurus is a thesaurus (for finding synonyms: words of same or
similar meaning). WinThesaurus can help when you are looking for a
particular word but can only think of a similar word. Type the word
you know into WinThesaurus (or find it in a list), click once, and you
have a list of synonyms. You can select one and copy it to the
Windows® clipboard with two more clicks. WinThesaurus uses the Moby
Thesaurus data for its roots and synonyms.
WinThesaurus has 30,260 root words and phrases, and over 2.5 million
synonyms. That is an average of 83 synonyms per root.
Version 1.2 adds a dropdown history list to the text entry box.

my desktop as s/cuts placed as a 'reference' cluster.
My faves (in order) are:

2.The Sage
3.WordWeb (no bloat freeware winner)
4.Everest (needs nursing to work)
5.Winthesaurus
6.WordNetDT
7.Pardon (old)
That order is from the official 2006 Captainware list filed under
'Reference' not found anywhere on the Net because nobody gives a
shit.....lol
Enjoy!

"If ACF and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still
say, 'This was their finest freeware hour."
--Winston Churchillz:
Winston talking about Susan's creation of web pages at one fell swoop
via spreadsheet data to .csv file (usually via dbEdit) to Treepad to
Keynote -> exporting to individual .txt files (then batch renaming to
..htm files), creating web pages with family tree info, photo pages,
recipe pages, etc. etc. etc. - hundreds of web pages at one go. . .
Winston holds up V--for 'Victory', while taking a hit off his Cigar..
