Last week someone posted a query re: Denebas new paint program that was just
announced.
I received the same announcement, which also included the announcement of
new versions of Spelling Coach Pro and BigThesaurus.
I was a user of BigThesaurus until I upgraded from a Mac SE (version 6) to
a Max IIsi (Version 7.0). Unfortunately, BigThesaurus was completely
incompatible with System 7, so I have had to make do with no on-line Thesaurus.
(I only recently got Word 5, and its Thesaurus doesn't measure up to
BigThesaurus anyway.)
Imagine my surprise when this Saturday I received a FREE upgrade disk from
Deneba for BigThesaurus! BigThesaurus version 2.0 is now a system extension,
and is now available in any application (in theory).
As I said, in theory. Unfortunately, I still use Works 3.0 for Spreadsheet,
Database, and dialing into work from home. Works 3.0 does not copy highlighted
test to the clipboard, so BigThesaurus doesn't work with Works :-( There
were two other applications also noted with the same problem, but I don't recall
which ones (sorry).
