- TODB library v. 1.01 (a Shareware)
- ----------------------------------
-
- Welcome to TODB library, the textual information retrieval system for C++.
- This is the demonstration shareware version of the product. If you want
- the library source code, you must register. See the section on Legal
- issues in the MANUAL.TXT file for more information.
-
- The TODB library implements the "textual retrieval engine" algorithm uses
- in textual database. This "retrieval engine" works alone, i.e. you can use
- it with any commercial database product that have a C++ access. For
- example, you may use the TODB library to do a hybrid system build with a
- standard database and a textual retrieval engine.
-
- And, if you like pure object oriented design, try:
-
- class SomeObject : private IdxColl, public Persistent
- {
- ...
- }
-
- With this declaration, the persistent SomeObject class belongs to an
- "Indexed Collection" (the IdxColl class).
