I have issued several early releases for testing. The latest version is nearing release, and you may add yourself to the list of people wanting to receive it by mailing the request to me. A brief derscription: The program is for Windows PCs. The software is not an indexing program in the sense that an indexing program creates indexes. Rather, this program indexes every word in one or many documents and keeps them im a database. It provides a front-end for searching the database, and gives an unformatted preview of the the context of a word that is found when you search the database. I think of this indexing program as an indexer's assistant. It is NOT positioned literally as an indexing program for generating alphabetic indexes. Regards.
