- WHAT DOES PC─INDEX DO ?
-
- 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
- acceptance 2 BRADLEY 1─2
- accordingly 20 breaks 5
- accurate 5 brief 11
- accurately 5 broken 12
- active 8, 15, 18 Brown 4
- actual 9, 13 Build 2, 9,
- 11─12 adapter 20 builds 14
- added 4 built 14
- addition 4 bw 20
- additional 7
- address 7
- adhering 2 ── C ──
- adjust 7, 20 calculated 9,
- 13 advanced 7 call 9
- advertising 7 called 9, 13
- afford 2 case 7─8, 18─19
- AGREEMENT 1─2 cases 15
- agrees 2, 7 catch 4
- alone 7 cd 5
- alpha 7, 15─16, 18─19 CH 16
- alphabet 7, 10, 14 chance 6, 18
- alphabetical 14, 17─18 chapter 12
- alphanumeric 7, 18─19 chapters 12
-
-
-
- 2) Phrase Index: An index can be generated listing all phrases
- that you specify. A new feature added to PC─INDEX 4.0 is the
- ability to find personal names in a document and save them in a
- file for you.
-
- Another new feature is the ability to list entries with up to two
- levels, like a name listed last name, first name (i.e. Jennifer
- WILLIAMS listed WILLIAMS, Jennifer) or a category with a sub─
- category (i.e. Winter activities, skiing). Look under the "W"
- entries in the sample phrase index below for some examples.
-
- Phrase Index Example:
-
- ── A ── ── I ──
- automatically 21 index 1─22
-
-
- ── B ── ── O ──

-
-
-
- PC─INDEX can also create a list of all unique words and generate
- a word frequency report.
-
- PC─INDEX can index any size file. It can even handle multiple
- files at once. Related files such as chapters of a book,
- depositions, or trial transcripts can be indexed as a group.
-
- PC─INDEX differs significantly from the index feature in most
- word processors. Instead of having to mark each word or phrase
- (as you do with most word processors), PC─INDEX simply searches
- your document(s) for the words or phrases that choose to include.
-
- PC─INDEX supports a number of popular word processors. Currently
- WordPerfect, Microsoft Word, Wordstar, Wordstar 2000, and
- Multimate documents are supported in addition to ASCII files.
-
-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- The minimum requirements for PC─INDEX are 640K of RAM, one floppy
- disk drive, one hard disk drive, and DOS 2.1 or higher.
