A while back, I was looking for a thesaurus file.  I had some trouble,
until someone wrote to me, mentioning the /usr/local/lib/thesaurus file.
Now no system I have access to has such a file, but the person in ques-
tion said the file was a part of the standard installation at his site.
The file apparently contains lines having the format -

	word(part-of-speech)synonym1,synonym2,...synonymX.

Where might this file have originated?  Anyone know?  Is it PD?  The
person who contacted me did not know.
