clX Introduction (23 Mar 93)
clX, 2.2, The Clause Cross Referencer
Microsoft Word version
======================

WHAT IS clX ?
=============
If you write or edit long documents with numbered paragraphs,
containing internal references, clX, the Clause Cross
Referencer can help you.
clX will analyse a document, and:
identify clause or paragraph numbers;
produce a report listing references in the text to each
paragraph;
attempt to identify references to non-existent clauses.
This is not the same as the cross referencing feature in many
popular word processing programs: they make you responsible
for identifying and marking each textual reference. clX finds
references for itself, by analysing the text of your document.
clX has two main benefits: it will save time locating
references to paragraphs, and it will reduce the risk of
professional error. clX is natural language processing
software designed for the legal profession, engineers,
consultants and many others.
A sample fragment from a typical clX report is set out below.
Clause '16.2.' has 9 references:
7.9.e.iv. 7.9.e.v 16.3. 16.3.f (2)
16.3.f.iv 16.4. 16.5. 16.6.
In the above fragment, you are given a list of clause numbers
which all contain references to a clause 16.2. Clause 16.3(f)
is also shown with a '2' in parentheses, indicating that it
contains two references to 16.2. (Note that all subclause
numbers are 'normalised', with dots replacing parentheses.)
clX will produce an item like the above fragment for each
clause which has references.
clX reads documents in Microsoft Word format, including
Microsoft Word for Windows documents, (although only as a DOS
clX Introduction (23 Mar 93) page 2
application). clX can also be supplied in a version which
supports Word Perfect. Installation instructions will be
found in the manual, CLXMAN.TXT. (The .exe files for clX are:
clx.exe, clxovl1.exe, clxovl2.exe, and clxovl3.exe.)
LICENSING
=========
You may use clX for a free 30 day trial period. During that
period, you are advised to carefully evaluate its capabilities
against your particular drafting style. If you continue to
use clX after the 30 day trial period, you are required to
purchase a license.
The license fee for clX is $US 125.00 per user, or its
equivalent amount in another currency. This includes shipping
costs to anywhere in the world. Licensing details may be
found in the accompanying file, "CLXREGIS.TXT". There are
volume discounts - refer to the file "CLXREGIS.TXT" for
details.
With a license you will receive an up to date copy of clX, and
also future updates to clX as they appear.
The license fee also includes 12 months free maintenance: if
you find something you think is wrong in the output produced
by clX, we will examine it and try to rectify the problem.
You must send the problem document to us on diskette, in
Nicrosoft Word format. We don't guarantee a solution, but all
reasonable efforts will be made.
IMPORTANT CAUTION
=================
You must evaluate clX carefully against your drafting style.
Because of ambiguities and irregularities in the English
language, and the range of drafting styles which may be used
by authors, the extraction of relevant data by clX is not
guaranteed to be complete, or accurate. We do not guarantee
that any particular failing will be rectified.
