That works really well, thanks. I forgot about xclip; I used that (or maybe xsel) myself a year or so ago in something I was working on (foksyfeyer - a screen reader+espeak configured assembly of console apps for Puppy).

Now I'm a little lost.

How do I connect your original command of:

<Key mask="A" key="t">exec:gaiksaurus</Key>

to your nifty script?

Apologies for my hard-of-thinking,
Jake

[mcewanw]

First you create an executable shell script called thesaurus using the new code provided by technosaurus.

Then you put that shell script in /usr/local/bin

then you use:

<Key mask="A" key="t">exec:thesaurus</Key>

[instead of exec:gaiksaurus]

Many thanks. I will give this a whirl.

I made a pet here:

It can also do text to speech and google search from the clipboard

Thank you sikpuppy for creating the Artha pet, and thank you mcewanw for bringing it to my attention.

Though still in beta, gposil's dpup482 is stable and may be the fastest puplet I've used. Abiword 2.80, its default wordprocessor, doesn't have a thesaurus. Intending to ask gposil about it, I accidentally clicked new topic, and mcewanw, replying, called Artha to my attention. As I indicated in my response to his reply, I'm reporting, after installation, that Artha runs fine under dpup.

A couple of questions, however. Sikpuppy's first message was

"You[b] may [/b] need to do this first:Click" {Emphasis mine} which when done opens to:
"Type about:config in the URL box.
Enter: general.useragent.extra.seamonkey in the filter box.
Double click on the entry.
Change the entry in the popup box to Firefox.
Have fun!"

As I mentioned, on my system Artha runs fine without it, i.e., opens, works, stays in memory, is called up with Alt-Ctl-w. I assume the instructions were to customize Seamonkey or Firefox. What are they supposed to do? and when are they needed? By not doing that, am I missing out on some functionality?

As mentioned, Artha stays resident in memory. Is there some way to turn it off, other than thru pprocess?

Thanks,

Mikeslr

Hi sikpuppy:

Thanks for the response to my previous question. As I mentioned, Artha stays resident in memory unless pprocess is call up and Artha is terminated using it. Both my Desktop and my Laptop have 1 Gig or more of Ram, so for me the memory usage isn't particularly important. However, others with less robust systems may wonder if there was a more elegant way to remove it from memory. If not, perhaps you may consider including that option in the future.

[p.s. I posted the same question on Launchpad-Artha. I'll advise if I get a response.]

Thanks again,

Mike

I saw that a new version of artha was recently released, but after learning that it used wordnet, I instead hacked together this little one-liner:

here are my first attempts in case they are useful

Hi all,
Just wanted to mention that this build still works great in the latest Slacko, Precise, OV-Precise, and Exprimo.

Wordnet 3.1 was published without announcement a month or 2 ago. I wrote the beginnings of a script to parse the dictionary into C code (not complete, but the idea was to be able to build it as a fast, single portable static executable). Is there any desire for such a beast? ... I totally forgot about Psaurus; does it need any updates?

Technosaurus, having only just now seen this thread and tried out the Artha .pet (in Racy 5.3), I'm impressed. Could your version of Wordnet make it work even better?
