                       |INTRODUCTION TO PC-INDEX^

PC-INDEX is designed to produce the type of an index that you would
find in the back of a book or reference manual.  There are many
options available and two types of indexes that can be created with
PC-INDEX.

Both index types are described here along with a section of that
index type as an example.
|
1) Single Word Index:^  An index can be created listing every
occurrence of every single word in a document.  Optionally, you can
include only the words you specify, or you can eliminate all
occurrences of the 1000 most common words in the English language.
You can even tell PC-INDEX to only index capitalized words (like
names).

                |Single Word Index Example:


-----  A  -----                    bottom 9-10, 13
abbreviation 8                     box 10, 14
abort 22                           boxes 15
absence 8                          brackets 8, 18

accurately 5                       broken 12
active 8, 15, 18                   Brown 4
actual 9, 13                       Build 2, 9, 11-12

added 4                            built 14
addition 4                         bw 20^

|
2) Phrase Index:^  An index can be generated listing all phrases that
you specify.  PC-INDEX will even find phrases that wrap from one line
to another or from one page to another.

                    |Phrase Index Example:

-----  A  -----                      -----  I  -----
automatically 21                     index 1-22

                       |SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS^

The minimum requirements for PC-INDEX are 640K of RAM, one floppy disk
drive, and DOS 2.1.   A hard disk drive is highly recommended and may
be necessary for larger files.

@


                  |INDEX TYPE ONE:  SINGLE WORD INDEX^

There are two single word indexes available with PC-INDEX.  The first
is capable of producing an index on every single word in a document.
The second index type will only index capitalized words.  Both single
word indexes function identically, except for this.

Controls are available which allow you to either include only the
words you want or to automatically discard common words like 'a',
'and', 'the', etc.

To begin using PC-INDEX type PCI and press enter.



                   |STEP ONE:  Extract Single Words^

This option will extract each word in a document, one at a time, and
record them in sorted order along with the page number that they occur
on.  Many words like a, and, the, if, of, etc will be eliminated and
will not be recorded unless you change the options.

First, select Text (ASCII) as the document type from the Document
menu.  If the wrong document type is selected, results will be
unpredictable (and incorrect).

Next, select the Extract Single Words option or the Extract
Capitalized Words option from the FILE menu, by using the cursor keys
and pressing ENTER.  You should now see a new window asking you for an
input filename, an output filename, the page size, the first page
number to start indexing on, and the first page number to use.

For the input filename type 'PCI.DOC' and press enter.  For the
output filename type 'PCI.SRT' and press enter.  Since this document
was created using 60 lines per page (the standard for letter size
paper is usually 66, but to accommodate those with laser  printers we
used 60 here) we will leave this setting as it is.  Next enter 5 for
the Start Indexing on Page entry, (we want to skip the first 4 pages
that contain the title page, the disclaimer, and the table of
contents) and leave the First Page Number to use setting at 1.


The completed window should look like this:
|
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                                                               │
│  Input File Name:   (Name of Document to process)             │
│  <pci.doc                                                %    │
│                                                               │
│  Output File Name:                                            │
│  <pci.srt                                                %    │
│                                                               │
│  Page Size  Start Indexing on Page    First Page Number to use│
│    < 60^           <  5^                       <   1%         │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
^
When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.DOC'.

You should now see a window which gives you the current status and
tells you how the processing of PCI.DOC is going.  You will be kept
informed of how many characters, lines, words, and pages have been
processed as well as how many matches have been found.

This process should only take a few seconds for PCI.DOC.


                 |STEP TWO:  Edit Extracted word file^

This step is optional, although you will probably want to use it.  It
gives you a chance to fine tune the index before you complete it.  By
using this option, you can deactivate words so that they will not be
included in the index and change the case of words that are included
from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa.

Select the 'Edit Extracted word file' option from the EDIT menu.  You
will be asked for an input filename.  PC-INDEX will enter the name of
the output file from the Extract Words option, PCI.SRT.  Just leave
the name alone and press enter.  After a few seconds you will see a
list of each unique word in PCI.DOC and the number of times that each
word occurred.

To the far left of each word are a set of brackets and an asterisk.
The presence or absence of an asterisk indicates whether or not the
word is active.  If a word is active, it will be included in the index
when it is created.  Words can be toggled one at a time between being
active and inactive by using the spacebar.  The words can also be
toggled as a group between being active and inactive by pressing F2.
By pressing F2 all words will be alternately set to active or
inactive.

If you have individual words which need to be different you may change
them here.  For instance go to the entry 'ASCII'.  Since ASCII is an
abbreviation it needs to be listed in uppercase.  By pressing F3, the
entry will be changed immediately to all uppercase if it isn't
already.  You may have a name which needs to have the first letter
uppercase and the rest lowercase.  For example go to the entry
'Australia'.  By pressing F5 you can change the word from australia to
Australia.  In the same manner, pressing F4 would change the word to
all lower case.

If you are processing a large document, you may have more words than
the Edit Extracted Word File option will allow you to work with at one
time.  Edit Extracted Word File allows up to 1000 unique words to be
in memory at any one time.  If your list contains more than 1000
words, you can get the next group of words by pressing F7.  You can
continue this process until you have worked with the entire list.  You
can go back to the first group  (the top of the list) by pressing F6.

When you are done editing the word list press ESCape to return to the
main menu.  All changes have already been saved.



                 |STEP THREE:  Build Single Word Index^

The third and final step 'Build Single Word Index' is found under the
FILE menu.  This step takes the file created by the 'Extract Single
Words' selection and edited by the 'Edit Extracted Word File'
selection and creates the index.

Select 'Build Single Word Index' from the FILE menu.  You will be
asked for the input file and output file.  PC-INDEX remembers the name
that you gave the file ('PCI.SRT') when you extracted the word list.
You should leave this name as it is.

Next you will be asked what name you want to use for the output file.
This is the name that the actual index will be called.  For this
example we'll call it 'PCI.NDX'.

The next entry is the Wildcard Description File Name.  This entry is
only used if you are processing several files at the same time.  We
won't use it here.

Next, PC-INDEX wants to know the page length (how many lines per page)
you want to use.  The default setting is 66 which is the proper
setting for letter size paper.  If you are using legal size paper, the
proper setting would be 88.  This number does not need to match the
lines per page setting you used when you selected 'Extract Words'.
Most laser printers will only output 60 lines per page.  If you will
be printing the index to a laser printer you will want to set this
option to 60.

The next item to fill in is the page width.  Here you will enter the
total number of characters that will fit on one line.  The maximum
width accepted by PC-INDEX is 132 characters.  The number next to page
width in reverse video is the calculated width required for the
settings you have selected.

Next, PC-INDEX asks you the number of columns you would like the
output to be in.  You will be able to produce an index up to four
columns wide.  An example of a two column index is included at the end
of this document.

The column width is the next entry.  This entry controls the width of
each column in the index.  The minimum allowable width is 30
characters and the maximum is 99.

The number of spaces between columns can range from 1 to 9 characters.

Next fill in the top, bottom, left, and right margins to the settings
that you wish.

The completed input window should look something like this:|
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Input File Name:                                           │

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
^
When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.SRT'.

You should see a status box which tells you the number of words to be
processed, the number of words actually processed, the letter of the
alphabet currently being processed, percentage completed, and the
elapsed time.

                    |INDEX TYPE TWO:  PHRASE INDEX^

The phrase index feature of PC-INDEX will quickly create an index
listing the page number(s) of all phrases that you provide.  You can
create this list using any word processor, or you can use PC-INDEX to
create it for you.

                      |STEP ONE:  Extract Phrases^

To begin using PC-INDEX type PCI and press enter.

This option will extract all phrases that you provided and record them
in sorted order along with the page number that they occur on.

First, select Text (ASCII) as the document type from the Document
menu.  If the wrong document type is selected, results will be
unpredictable.

Next, select the Extract Phrases option from the FILE menu, by using
the cursor keys and pressing ENTER.  You should now see a new window
asking you for an input filename, an output filename, the page size,
the first page number to start indexing on, and the first page number
to use.

For the input filename type 'PCI.DOC' and press enter.  For the
output filename type 'PCI.SRT' and press enter.  Since this document
was created using 60 lines per page (the standard for letter size
paper is usually 66, but to accommodate those with laser printers we
used 60 here) we will leave this setting as it is.  Next enter 5 for
the Start Indexing on Page entry, (we want to skip the first 4 pages
that contain the title page, the disclaimer, and the table of
contents) and leave the First Page Number to use setting at 1.

The completed window should look something like this:|
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
^
When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.DOC'.

You should now see a window which gives you the current status and
tells you how the processing of PCI.DOC is going.  You will be kept
informed of how many characters, lines, words, and pages have been
processed as well as how many matches have been found.

This process should only take a few seconds for PCI.DOC.


                    |STEP TWO:  Build Phrase Index^

The second and final step 'Build Phrase Index' is found under the FILE
menu.  This step takes the file created by the 'Extract Phrases'
selection and creates the final index.

Select 'Build Phrase Index' from the FILE menu.  You will be asked for
the input file and output file.  PC-INDEX remembers the name that you
gave the file ('PCI.SRT') when you extracted the phrases.  You should
leave this name as it is.

Next you will be asked what name you want to use for the output file.
This is the name that the actual index will be called.  For this
example we'll call it 'PCI.NDX'.

The next entry is the Wildcard Description File Name.  This entry is
only used if you are processing several files at the same time.  We
won't use it here.

Next, PC-INDEX wants to know the page length (how many lines per page)
you want to use.  The default setting is 66 which is the proper
setting for letter size paper.  If you are using legal size paper, the
proper setting would be 88.  This number does not need to match the
lines per page setting you used when you selected 'Extract Phrases'.
Most laser printers will only output 60 lines per page.  If you will
be printing the index on a laser printer you will want to set this
option to 60.

The next item to fill in is the page width.  Here you will enter the
total number of characters that will fit on one line.  The maximum
width accepted by PC-INDEX is 132 characters.  The number next to page
width in reverse video is the calculated width required for the
settings you have selected.

Next, PC-INDEX asks you the number of columns you would like the
output to be in.  You will be able to produce an index up to four
columns wide if your phrases are small enough.  An example of a two
column phrase index is included at the end of this document.

The column width is the next entry.  This entry controls the width of
each column in the index.  The minimum allowable width is calculated
by PC-INDEX and is equal to the longest phrase that you entered.  The
maximum is 99 characters.

The number of spaces between columns can range from 1 to 9 characters.

Next fill in the top, bottom, left, and right margins to the settings
that you wish.

The completed input window should look something like this:

@ this is where the kwic menu type info was stored. ---



@

                              |FILE menu:^

The FILE menu has nine available selections:  Extract Single Words,
Extract Capitalized Words, Build Single Word Index, Word Frequency,
Spinoff Unique Words, Extract Phrases, Build Phrase Index, Save
Settings, and Quit.

This menu is broken down into three categories: single word functions,
phrase functions, and save settings and quit.


                         |Extract Single Words^

Extract Single Words is the first item in the menu.  It is also the
first step performed in creating a single word index.  It's function
is to extract each individual word from the document and record it.

This option will extract all words in the document, one at a time, and
record them in sorted order along with the page number that they occur
on.


                      |Extract Capitalized Words^

The Extract Capitalized Words selection works in exactly the same
manner as Extract Single Words, except that it only extracts
capitalized words (like names).


                       |Build Single Word Index^

Build Single Word Index  is the final step in creating a single word
index.  It takes the file created by the 'Extract Single Words'
selection and edited by the 'Edit Extracted Word File' selection and
creates an index.

                            |Word Frequency^

Word Frequency builds a word frequency list. This file contains all
unique words in alphabetical order and the number of times that each
word was used.  This file is built from an extracted single word file.
If you want a complete listing of all words, be sure to extract words
using the 'Don't use any Word List' option (found in the Options
menu).

If you have not already created an extracted single word file, then
you will need to do this first.


                             |Spinoff List^

Spinoff List creates an ASCII text file of words from an extracted
single word file.  This can be particularly helpful when you are
creating a customized include word list or discard word list.

This option will quickly go through an extracted word file and
write out all unique words to a file.  This file can then be used as
either an include or discard word list.  By editing the file with the
Edit Extracted word file (found under the Edit Menu) you can mark or
un-mark unique words.  Then when you spin off a list you can spin off
either the marked words or the un-marked words.


                           |Extract Phrases^

Extract Phrases will search through a document and find all
occurrences of a list of phrases.  It is the first step performed in
creating a phrase index.  It's function is to extract each individual
phrase from a document and record it.


                         |Build Phrase Index^

Build Phrase Index  is the final step in creating a phrase index.
Build Phrase Index takes the file created by the 'Extract Phrases'
selection creates the phrase index.


                            |Save Settings^

Save Settings saves the current settings in the OPTIONS and DOCUMENT
menus.  It will also save all numeric settings in the various dialogue
boxes and save the word list filenames.

                                 |Quit^

Quit exits PC-INDEX and returns you to the DOS prompt.


@

                              |EDIT menu:^

The EDIT menu has six available selections:  Edit Custom Character
Set, Edit Discard Word File, Edit Include Word File, Edit Phrase File,
Edit Extracted Word File, and Edit Word List Filename.


                     |Edit Custom character set:^

The custom character set is a list of characters that will be allowed
to be part of a word.  This feature gives you a great deal of
flexibility in determining what characters a word can contain.  For
instance you will obviously want to include all alphabetical
characters, but you may or may not want numbers, hyphens, apostrophes,
or other punctuation characters to be allowed in a word.

There are 256 possible characters and any character except a space can
be valid in a word.  To allow or disallow a character simply position
it under the highlight bar and press the spacebar.

If a character is not valid in a word then PC-INDEX assumes that a new
word begins there.  There are a few cases which you need to plan for.
For instance, the way PC-INDEX comes configured, hyphens and
apostrophes will not be included in a word.  Words like wouldn't and
couldn't will not be kept together.  If this is going to be a problem
for you, then use the custom character set and mark the hyphen and
apostrophe and any other character which may cause a problem for you.


                        |EDIT Discard word file^

The Discard word file contains a list of words which can be searched
during the Extract words selection.  If the 'Use Discard Word List'
option is selected from the options menu, when a word is extracted
from a document, the Discard word file is searched.  If a match is
found then the extracted word will be discarded and will not be
included in the index.

Over 1000 words are included in the Discard word list right now.  Many
words are words like a, and, the, if, or, etc.  You may want to take a
look at the words currently in the list to see if they meet your
needs.

By using the EDIT Discard word file, you can add, edit, or delete
words from the list to customize it.  Up to 3000 words can be included
in the list.

By pressing F3, you will be allowed to edit the word that is under the
highlight bar.  By pressing F4, you will be allowed to add words to
the list.  As you add new words to the list, they will be inserted in
the correct place so that the list remains in alphabetical order.  You
can have up to 3000 words in the discard word list.  Press F2 when you
are ready to save the modified discard word list.


                        |EDIT Include word file^

The Include word file contains a list of words which can be searched
during the Extract words selection.  If the Use Include Word List
option is selected from the options menu, when a word is extracted
from a document, the Include word file is searched.  If a match is
found then the extracted word will be included in the index.

There are no words included in the Include word list as it ships.  By
using the EDIT Include word file option, you can add, edit, or delete
words from the list to customize it.  Up to 3000 words can be included
in the list.

There is a shortcut you can use to create a customized include word
list very easily.  By using the Spinoff List option (under the file
menu) you can quickly spin off a list of unique words in alphabetical
order.  This list can then be used as an include word list or a
discard word list.

See the Spinoff List option for more information.


                           |Edit Phrase List^

The Phrase List file contains a list of phrases which will be searched
during the Extract Phrases selection.  As PC-INDEX processes the
document, the Phrase List file is continuously searched.  If a match
is found then the extracted phrase will be included in the index.

There are no phrases in the phrase list as it ships.  By using the
EDIT Phrase List option, you can add, edit, or delete phrases from the
list to customize it.  Up to 3000 phrases can be included in the list.



                       |EDIT Extracted word file^

This is an optional step in creating a single word index.  It gives
you a chance to fine tune the index before you complete it.  By using
this option, you can deactivate words so that they will not be
included in the index and change the case of words that are included
(from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa).

After selecting Edit Extracted word file from the Edit Menu.  Enter
the name of the extracted word file that you want to edit.  This may
take a few seconds to load.

On the far left you will see a set of brackets with an asterisk.  The
asterisk means that the word is active and will be included in the
index.  By pressing the spacebar you can toggle individual words
between active and inactive.  With this technique you can quickly cut
out words that you don't want to include.

By pressing F2 you can toggle all words between being active and
inactive.  This function will allow you to clear all entries and then
go through the list and mark only the words that you want.  By using
this technique along with the Spinoff List option, you can quickly and
easily create an include word file or a discard word file.

By pressing F3 you can change individual words to all upper case, by
pressing F4 you can change individual words to all lower case, and by
pressing F5 you can change individual words so that the first
character is upper case and the rest of the word is lower case.

The Edit Extracted Word File function will load a maximum of 1000
unique words at one time.  If you have a very large file, it may be
larger than 1000 words.  If that is the case, then PC-INDEX will only
load the first 1000 unique words.  By pressing F7, you can move
through the file so that you can edit the entire file.  F6 will move
you back to the beginning of the file.


                       |Edit Word List Filenames^

PC-INDEX allows you to change the names of the INCLUDE, DISCARD, and
PHRASE lists that it uses.  This way you can use a word processor or
PC-INDEX to create new lists without destroying existing lists or
having to constantly rename the files.  Select Edit Word List
Filenames from the Edit Menu and you will see a window that looks like
this:
|
┌───  Edit Word List Filenames   ──────────────────────────────┐
│                                                              │
│  Discard Word List Filename:                                 │

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
^
You can now select the filename that you want to change and type in
any name that you wish.

                             |OPTIONS menu^

The OPTIONS menu has eight available selections.  There are three
basic groups of selections:  case selection, compare list, and
eliminate duplicates.

The first group of options determines what case the characters will be
converted to when written to disk.

For consistency, PC-INDEX can convert all words to be the same case as
they are being extracted.  If you want to do any conversion, you have
three choices.  Convert words to UPPER CASE will convert all words to
upper case, Convert words to lower case will convert all words to
lower case, and Convert words to UPPER & lower case will convert the
first letter in the word to upper case and the rest of the word to
lower case.  If you select No Conversion then no conversion will take
place.

The second group of options determines which words will be included in
the extracted word list.

You have three options to determine which words will be included.

Don't Use any Word List:  When this option is selected every word in
the document will be included.  Common words like 'a', 'and', 'the',
etc. will be indexed using this option.

Use Discard Word List:  When the Use Discard Word List option is
selected, PC-INDEX will compare the extracted word to the discard word
list.  If a match is found, the extracted word will be discarded and
will not be included in the extracted word list or the index.

Use Include Word List:  When the Use Include Word list option is
selected, PC-INDEX will compare the extracted word to the include
word list.  If a match is found, the extracted word will be included
in the extracted word list and the index.

The last option is Eliminate Duplicate Words.  It will speed up
processing of large files and reduce the size of files produced by
PC-INDEX.  When this option is selected any duplicates that occur
on the same page will be deleted.
