COMPUTER LIBRARY PC MAGAZINE REVIEWS INDEX
The COMPUTER LIBRARY PC MAGAZINE REVIEWS INDEX is a biannual
index to the hundreds of software and hardware reviews and
evaluations that appear in PC Magazine.
The database is available in three versions:
PCM.EXE - Reviews from January 1988 through June 13, 1989
PCM88.EXE - Reviews from January through December 1988
PCM89A.EXE - Reviews form January 1989 to June 13, 1989
all three databases require PCSRCH.EXE in order to run. These
four files are self-extracting archives, which means when you run it,
the program will uncompress and unbundle itself.
The PC Magazine Reviews Index is a small part of the Computer
Library Computer Periodicals Database, distributed by Ziff
Communications Company monthly on CD-ROM and on-line through
PC Magazine's PC MagNet.
The CD-ROM version the Computer Periodicals Database contains
an entire year's worth of full text articles and abstracts from
over 125 computer and technology-related periodicals published
in the United States and Great Britain, including PC Magazine.
The on-line version contains two year's worth of articles and
abstracts.
The software used to retrieve citations from the Reviews Index
is a fully functional copy of Lotus Development Corporation's
BlueFish(R) Searchware -- the same software utilized in the
Computer Library Computer Periodicals Database on CD-ROM. It
allows subscribers to easily navigate through the more than
52,000 articles and abstracts available to them each month.
If you would like more information about the Computer Periodicals
Database on CD-ROM please call: 212-503-4400.
