Inexpensive competition for FolioViews, AskSam, Zyindex etc. and
for mainframe products like STAIRS. Runs under both DOS and
Windows.
Many business uses. In addition to the obvious uses for
statutes, legal transcripts, etc., Racontex is valuable for use
with collective agreements, policy manuals, office handbooks,
library catalogues -- in fact anywhere that someone has to "look
something up" and there is a personal computer available. Ideal
for on-line manuals for software!
Proximity Search. Supports searches of word alternatives and
combinations of alternatives within a given number of words of
each other, or on the same page as each other.
Variable Stopword List. Licensees of the loading (indexing)
program may specify their own list of stopwords (words not to be
included in searches, such as "and" and "the") - this is a
tremendous disk space saver.
Variable Delimiter List. Licensees of the loading (indexing)
program may specify their own list of delimiters. e.g. They may
determine whether a hyphenated word is one word or two for search
purposes.
Optional copy prevention. The resulting self searching documents
may be loaded onto computers other than the original (subject to
the appropriate licence) and then made "non-portable" to prevent
unauthorized copying. Useful for significant databases in
companies with high staff turnover.
