-
- --------------------------------------

- "This program provides more strategies for text search than most

- utility, dtSearch is well worth a look."

- --------------------------------------
-
- The purpose of dtSearch is to help you quickly find documents on your
- PC or on a network. dtSearch does this by building an index that
- stores the location of the words in your documents. Once dtSearch has
- built an index, searches take just a few seconds. Since you will
- sometimes want to search documents that have not been indexed,
- dtSearch can also search without an index or do "combination"
- searches.
-
- System Requirements
- -------------------
-
- dtSearch for DOS requires DOS 3.3 or later and at least 384k of
- available memory (512k recommended).
-
- dtSearch for Windows requires Windows 3.1 or higher and at least 2 Mb
- of memory (4 Mb recommended).
