- What is PC-Browse?
-
- PC-Browse is a memory-resident program for IBM PC compatible
- computers that helps you find information in your files. In
- its most basic form, it searches a file (or a number of
- files) for specific text. It uses about 60K of memory; or
- 3K if you put it into EMS memory.
-
- You can pop up a PC-Browse window over your application
- program, enter the name of a file to search and the text you
- want to find, and press the search key. PC-Browse quickly
- finds and displays the information you seek. Press the
- search key again to continue searching until it finds all
- occurrences of the text. You can paste information into
- your application program, copy it to a file, or print it.
- PC-Browse offers some "navigational" tools, or place
- markers, so you can quickly move back and forth between
- pages of text.
-
- PC-Browse offers a second level of search features, used
- with easy-to- build PC-Browse application files. First you
- can do a linear search for a keyword in a file, which is a
- word defined by special characters. Second, you can do a
- much faster lookup search in a file whose keywords are in
- alphabetic or numeric order. Finally, you can trigger
- either kind of search from a cross-reference at one place to
- a keyword at another place, in the same file or another
- file. This link ability gives PC-Browse a hypertext
- quality.
