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.

* Create pop up on-line help for a custom application.
* Look-up customer information while you're doing something
