1. What is Index-It
--------------------
Index-It is a Windows Text File indexing program. It is used to scan text
files and to create an index list. An index list consists on an Alphabetical
list of words that can be used to create an index list for the document or
be used as keywords to describe the document for Hypertext purposes.
Index-It maintains a list of common words that would never be used for
indexing purposes, and this can be updated by the user. This prevents
Index-It from continously presenting the user with words that should be
ignored. Index-It also maintains a document specific list of words that
could be index words, but not in the context of the particular document
being scanned. Finally Index-It holds the index list itself, and this can
be saved to disk as a simple ASCII file, or it can be MERGED with other
index lists to produce a common index.
The main areas where Index-It would be used, are in DeskTop Publishing
where a book or journal requires an Index List, or in the production of
Hypertext documents where a list of Keywords are needed on a subject.
2. HOW TO GET HELP
-------------------
If you have any problems, please read this file, and if you still have a
question and need assistance, help is available from the following source:
Write to me at the following address:
James Herron
29 Duncryne Place,
Bishopbriggs
Glasgow G64 2DP
Scotland
UK.
Alternatively call me on 041 762 0967 between 6pm and 9pm Mon - Fri, or any
time at Weekends (within reason!). Answering machine available.
If you have a modem you can leave me a message on the ShareWare Support BBS
in the UK on (0442) 891109 (3 lines). This BBS has a link to the Runway BBS
in the US on 215-623-6203.
Alternatively log on to a local BBS that echos FIDO or ILINK and leave me
a message in one of the following conferences:
FIDO
----
Shareware (fido)
Windows (fido)
Windows Programming (fido)
ILINK
-----
Shareware (Ilink)
Windows Application Development (Ilink)
If you are on Compuserve or CIX you can Email me at
herron@comms.eee.strathclyde.ac.uk
This is on the JANET network but can be accessed via internet and
Compuserve.
To access internet you may have to make modifications such as:
>INTERNET:herron@comms.eee.strathclyde.ac.uk
which I BELIEVE is the correct format from Compuserve.
3. INSTALLATION
----------------
There are two options for installation:
1. Hard Disk - This option allows you to copy all the files without
worrying about disk space. It allows faster program operation and is
recommended if you have a hard disk.
2. Single Floppy - It is perfectly feasible to run Help Edit from a single
floppy drive. In this case it is recommended that only the essential
files that you need are copied onto this disk.
You should read the rest of this README file to get further
information about this release before you do the installation.
To perform the installation insert the floppy in drive A or B and run
INSTALL from Windows.
This completes installation, you should now put your original disk(s) in a
save place. Start Windows and either run Index-It from the Program Manager by
opening the File menu and selecting Run, or better still if you installed a
new group for Index-It during install select it's icon for the application.
4. IMPORTANT NOTES
-------------------
o The Executable, Help and a few Document files in this package are
compressed. If you don't use the installation program or you need to
copy one of the original files onto your hard disk, use the UNPACK.EXE
file located on the distribution disk. This is a Windows application.
o As mentioned in the installation section,if you are running from a single
drive then you should only copy the essential files required to run Help
Edit. This means leaving off any *.doc files, and once you have run the
examples you could remove them also.
o IMPORTANT refer to the online Help for additional information.
5. FILES ON THE DISK(S).
-------------------------
Note: File names that end in a $ indicate a compressed file.
Disk 1
INSTALL EXE - Windows Install Program
INSTALL INF - Windows Install Script file
UNPACK EXE - Unpack Utility.

INVOICE DOC - Invoice/Order form

6. Why Register?
----------------
Registering brings with it a number of advantages.
First of all the Unregistered Copy notice will no longer appear.
Second, you will have technical support should you have any problems.
And Finally, your support will encourage me to continue to improve Index-It.
As a registered user you will be entitled to FREE updates for 6 months or
TWO updates (which ever comes first), and to favourable price reductions on
future versions after that period. So make sure you complete the
