Vertex Librarian Developer:
Add Sophisticated Text Management to Your NeXTstep Application

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA (October 14, 1992) -- Vertex Software is
happy to announce Version 1.0 of Vertex Librarian Developer, a
programming library for adding sophisticated text search, retrieval,
and management functionality to your NeXTstep application.  Vertex
Librarian Developer is the text engine used in Vertex's flagship
product, Vertex Librarian for NeXTstep.

The ability to manage text-based information is essential for many
of today's mission critical applications.  Vertex Librarian Developer
provides this ability in a form suitable for embedding in your NeXTstep
application.  Vertex Librarian Developer's powerful text-based information
management functionality far exceeds the capabilities of the NeXTstep
Indexing Kit.

Vertex Librarian Developer (VLD) is capable of managing huge collections
of text-based information.  VLD's efficient indexing and advanced querying
capabilities provide your application and it's users instant access to
critical information.  VLD's full multi-user network integrity allows
your applications to seamlessly share information among multiple users
across a network.

VLD's flexible thesaurus technology provides a powerful method of capturing
and applying the knowledge of your users to the task of managing their
information.  Using the thesaurus, your application can automatically
classify new information and find existing information based on what your
users say is important to them.  

VLD's typed hypertext facility lets users of your application navigate
documents in a more flexible manner.  VLD's document structure (pattern)
analysis facility provides the ability to automatically extract information
from structured full text sources, such as e-mail, forms, or SGML-based
documents.  VLD allows you to attach arbitrary attribute/value pairs to
documents, useful for recording and accessing documents based on properties
external to the documents themselves, such as author, date received, etc.

Here is a small sampling of the many possible applications of Vertex
Librarian Developer:

	- managing e-mail and newsfeeds, including automatic classification
	  and routing of incoming information
	- embedding text retrieval and/or hypertext in a word processor
	- developing workgroup applications
	- document assembly
	- providing robust on-line documentation for your applications
	- electronic publishing/hypertext authoring

In addition to the NeXTstep environment, Vertex Librarian Developer is
available on other platforms, including SunOS and MS-DOS.

SUMMARY:

Vertex Librarian Developer, a powerful text management programming library,
is available immediately from Vertex Software (orders 800-333-4845).
