- 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).
