README for Thesaurus/WordNet KDataTool
Daniel Naber (daniel.naber@t-online.de), 2001-12-01

For user documentation, click the "Help" button in the thesaurus window

Design Goals:

-Make the data file small, so it can be included in KOffice.
 Make it simple, i.e. don't reinvent functions which are already
 in WordNet.
-Provide access to (almost) all WordNet functions for people
 who have WordNet installed locally

Implementation:

Technically, this is a KDataTool, which means that it will typically
add an action to a context menu, in this case: "Show related words".
You can see this in KWord when you click the right mouse button over
a word or over selected text.

The Thesaurus KDataTool just calls the WordNet binary "wn", which has
to be in your path. The advantage is that there are no dependencies
at compile time, as there would be if we used the WordNet library.

use it while you are online
