Abstract

Summary: A free-form text database manager. It works from text entered from a word processing program and constructs an index of all key words or all words in the text. Once that index has been constructed and saved, it retrieves paragraphs which contain specified terms. Index construction is slow; retrieval is very fast. Program has no independent data entry or editing capability.
