[comp.text] THESAURUS AND MOST COMMON WORDS

rdc@Inference.COM (Roger x179 Carasso) (05/12/91)

I am in great need of an online thesaurus.  I need an ascii text
version, not some bizarre compressed format where I can't see the
information.

I really only need synonyms for the few thousand most common words...


thanks

Unfortunately those of us outside the USA can't call this number -- it doesn't
work.  Does anyone know if there's a non-800 number, or have an address?

Many thanks.
