TXTIndex.DOC, ver. 1.0
(c)1993, EFD Systems
TXTIndex is a simple (and somewhat crude) utility that helps an author compile a
standard word/page type index for TXTBook "books". This utility can be used
interactively to index one word at a time or, by using DOS redirection, input
and output can be re-directed to/from files for batch mode operation.
Interactive Mode
To use the utility interactively type: TXTIndex bookname
Bookname is the name of the "book" text file. In this mode the user is prompted for one word at a time. Type "END"
to exit the utility and return to DOS.
Batch Mode
To use the utility in batch mode type : TXTIndex bookname <wordlist >output
Wordlist is an ASCII file containing a list of the words that you wish to index,
one word per line. Use "END" as the last word in the list, otherwise; the
program may hang when it comes to the end of the file. Output is the name of
the file that you wish to send the index results to. "<" and ">" are DOS
redirection symbols. See your DOS manual for details. Due to the simplist
algorithm used, this utility can take quite some time to index a large file.
