ENTERSIF
A README.SIF file is similar to a README documentation file
(ASCII text) which many shareware packages use, however, the
SIF file format is uniform in it's layout which offers
advantages to shareware authors, BBS systems and shareware
vendors. The primary focus of a README.SIF file is to
standardize a minimum amount of documentation information
about a shareware package which all authors, vendors, BBS
systems and other can use reliably. The README.SIF file
created by ENTERSIF and verified with SIFVER contains a unique
CRC verification number at the end of the file which
represents an "authenticity check" for compliance with a
precisely standardized SIF file format. If a file does not
comply with the README.SIF format, SIFVER will not allow an
"authentication number" at the end of the file.

multiple indexes by simply checking off the ones you want
searched. dtSearch requires no "importing" or "conversion" of
your documents. Automatically detect the word processor format
for each document. dtSearch can read, search, and index
documents in the following formats: * ASCII or DOS Text *
Microsoft Rich Text Format * Microsoft Word * Microsoft Word
for Windows * Multimate Advantage II * Multimate version 4 *
