rgdot's link is the official one.
Note that the vista x64 dll download on that page may also be needed on windows 10.

Downloaded perfectly without any problems. Yesterday was a different story. This is very much appreciated. Thank you! This is an offline thesaurus?

Yes.  It was written by Anderson (Wordzilla) who used to hang out here a lot but not recently, so it's not an actively developed program, but it's still a pretty wonderous tool.

Love it when people use their gifts to help others. I see a lot of that on this website. It's a great resource for people like me, who aren't very computer savvy. I like the idea of being able to donate to people who create and offer things like this.

I had saved a note about Mobysaurus, with a link, in my CHS database:
