MyThes is a simple thesaurus that uses a structured text data file and an index file with binary search to lookup words and phrases and return information on part of speech, meanings, and synonyms MyThes was originall written to provide a thesaurus for the OpenOffice.org project The Main features of MyThes are: 1. written in C++ to make it easier to interface with LibreOffice, OpenOffice, AbiWord, Pspell, etc 2. it is stateless, uses no static variables and should be completely reentrant with no ifdefs 3. it compiles with -ansi and -pedantic and -Wall with no warnigns so it shouldbe quite portable 4. it uses a simple perl program to read the structured text file and create the index needed for binary searching 5. it is very simple with *lots* of comments. The main "smarts" are in the structure of the text file that makes up the thesaurus data 6. It comes with a ready-to-go structured thesaurus data file for en_US extracted from the WordNet-2.0 data. Please see WordNet_license.txt and WordNet_readme.txt for more information on the very useful project! See http://www.danielnaber.de/wn2ooo/ for utilities to regenerate an up to date English thesaurus from the most recent WordNet data. 7. The source code has a BSD license (and no advertising clause) MyThes comes with a simple example program that looks up some words and returns meanings and synonyms. To build it simply do the following: unzip mythes.zip cd mythes ./configure make To run the example program: ./example th_en_US_new.idx th_en_US_new.dat checkme.lst To run the example program with stemming and morphological generation: e.g. to check mouse, mice, rodents, eats, eaten, ate, eating etc. words ./example morph.idx morph.dat morph.lst morph.aff morph.dic NOTE: this is only an example and test environment for dictionary developers, full English stemming and morphological generation needs an improved English Hunspell dictionary.
