Subject: Random House Thesarus

This product, advertised in Byte, is excellent  -- at least based on a
week's experience.
It is a thesarus which can be accessed directly 
or from inside Wordstar!  It's extremely fast (for a
floppy disc/z80).  Much faster in the look-up mode than The Word, for example.

It allows one to put the cursor on a word,
hit escape twice, and quickly see the thesarus entry
for that word. You can then select a word from the 
thesarus list,  it will move the selected word into
your text and drop the original word. It gets capitalization right most
of the time.


Two problems. 
 Price  $150  which is reasonable.
 It uses about 200k of disk space.

If you write a lot in wordstar, it's a very handy
tool.

Regards
Clj
Ps it's avaliable from Dictronics -- I don't have their address here  I'll
post it to the net saturday.
