Folio Corp. recently released an excellent text database manager, which
completely indexes an ASCII file (giving the user access to an 
alphabetical list of every word in the text database), compresses the
ASCII file to 60% of its original size (incl. index), supports boolean, 
wildcard, nested, and proximity searches, etc. Unfortunately the Mac 
version is 18 months distant (read never). 

Is there anything at all comparable available for the Mac? I specifically
need something that will instanteously search an indexed file up
to 20 Meg in size (as does Folio's program).
