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.
