Re: request for software supporting text databases:
There is software available, in several categories. One is programs that
will index text files created via other means. Probably the best of these is
ZyINDEX (ZyLAB Corp, Chicago, 312-642-2201)
This package comes in three versions, $145 - $695, supporting 500, 5000, 15000
files respectively.
- this is a very powerful package (fast, too).
Another category is text data managers, complete (with editor, etc). A de-
cent one (according to reviews; have not actually tried it) is
askSam (Seaside Software, Corpus Christi, 512-991-2019, $150)
askSam will import text from other sources. A record, however, is restricted
to apx. 1600 characters.
- you can also use Framework - if you can stand the overhead, the lack of ran-
dom indexing, and the purchase cost.
