FILE NAME: SOUNDEX.DOC
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soundex is a technique used to key data in a data base. It can
make information retrieval a faster and more forgiving
procedure for end users who don't always know the exact
spelling of words, such as names. As long as the end
user can get the consonants, or some of them (depending
on your key search routine or library function), the
correct key vicinity can be found quickly.
DESCRIPTION OF SOUNDEX FILES
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOUNDEX.C source code for use with the smallc compiler
SOUNDEX.ASM assembly language source code from the compiler
SOUNDEX.OBJ object file from MASM (or other assembler)
SOUNDEX.EXE the soundex program (has been LINKed with CPCLIB)
( A>SOUNDEX will execute SOUNDEX.EXE from MS-DOS)
SOUNDEX.WRK an ASCII work file that SOUNDEX.EXE creates
(QWERTY is what you will find in this tiny file.
Used as a demo, QWERTY became Q63 in soundex code.)
