Word Thesaurus published by Target Software, version 1.0v of 2/13/87
is not functioning under Multifinder.  Gives an error message indicating
you have to use it under Word, but in fact even if you are in Word you
get the same message.  The solution was to go to the ordinary finder.

Response I got when contacting Target Software was that they offer tech
support of the existing product, but that the creator is no longer updating
this program.  I'm a little ambivalent about whether that is bad or good.
The product is "reasonable" for an inexpensive add-on, but its vocabulary
is somewhat limited.

I would be interested to see if anyone knows of the current plans of the
creators, Deneba Systems, Inc.  They are listed as the copyright holder
in the "About Thesaurus" menu.
