Aiksaurus is a set of libraries and applications which provide a thesaurus 
(currently English only, based on Guttenburg's Moby thesaurus) using native 
GUI on several platforms: UNIX (GTK+ & Qt), Win32 & MacOSX (Cocoa). The core 
library itself is platform-independent. The principal language is C++, with 
some use of Cocoa/ObjC++; wrappers are provided for C and Cocoa/ObjC.

Aiksausus plugins exist for AbiWord on UNIX and Win32; the library is also 
used by Lyx; and the new Cocoa port provides a MacOSX NSService hook so that 
Safari and other such applications can use this thesaurus without Aiksaurus
specific development.

Use the command "aiksaurus" for cli component and "gaiksaurus" for gtk frontend.
