- |INTRODUCTION TO PC-INDEX^
-
- PC-INDEX is designed to produce the type of an index that you would
- find in the back of a book or reference manual. There are many
- options available and two types of indexes that can be created with
- PC-INDEX.
-
- Both index types are described here along with a section of that
- index type as an example.
- |
- 1) Single Word Index:^ An index can be created listing every
- occurrence of every single word in a document. Optionally, you can
- include only the words you specify, or you can eliminate all
- occurrences of the 1000 most common words in the English language.
- You can even tell PC-INDEX to only index capitalized words (like
- names).
-
- |Single Word Index Example:
-
-
- ----- A ----- bottom 9-10, 13
- abbreviation 8 box 10, 14
- abort 22 boxes 15
- absence 8 brackets 8, 18
- acceptance 2 BRADLEY 1-2
- accordingly 20 breaks 5
- accurate 5 brief 11
- accurately 5 broken 12
- active 8, 15, 18 Brown 4
- actual 9, 13 Build 2, 9, 11-12
- adapter 20 building 4
- add 16-18 builds 14
- added 4 built 14
- addition 4 bw 20^
-
- |
- 2) Phrase Index:^ An index can be generated listing all phrases that
- you specify. PC-INDEX will even find phrases that wrap from one line
- to another or from one page to another.
-
- |Phrase Index Example:
-
- ----- A ----- ----- I -----
- automatically 21 index 1-22
-
-
- ----- B ----- ----- O -----
- Black and White monitor 20 on line help 4
- Bradley 1-2 Option Menu 2, 11
- build index 2, 9, 11-12 options 3, 6-8, 11, 15-20
-
-
- ----- C ----- ----- Q -----
- copyright 1-2, 11, 15, 19-20 Quick Start Example 2, 5
- Court 1-2
- created 3, 5-6, 8-9, 12-14, 21-22 ^
-
-
-
-
-
- |SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS^
-
- The minimum requirements for PC-INDEX are 640K of RAM, one floppy disk
- drive, and DOS 2.1. A hard disk drive is highly recommended and may
- be necessary for larger files.
-
- @
-
-
- |INDEX TYPE ONE: SINGLE WORD INDEX^
-
- There are two single word indexes available with PC-INDEX. The first
- is capable of producing an index on every single word in a document.
- The second index type will only index capitalized words. Both single
- word indexes function identically, except for this.
-
- Controls are available which allow you to either include only the
- words you want or to automatically discard common words like 'a',
- 'and', 'the', etc.
-
- To begin using PC-INDEX type PCI and press enter.
-
-
-
- |STEP ONE: Extract Single Words^
-
- This option will extract each word in a document, one at a time, and
- record them in sorted order along with the page number that they occur
- on. Many words like a, and, the, if, of, etc will be eliminated and
- will not be recorded unless you change the options.
-
- First, select Text (ASCII) as the document type from the Document
- menu. If the wrong document type is selected, results will be
- unpredictable (and incorrect).
-
- Next, select the Extract Single Words option or the Extract
- Capitalized Words option from the FILE menu, by using the cursor keys
- and pressing ENTER. You should now see a new window asking you for an
- input filename, an output filename, the page size, the first page
- number to start indexing on, and the first page number to use.
-
- For the input filename type 'PCI.DOC' and press enter. For the
- output filename type 'PCI.SRT' and press enter. Since this document
- was created using 60 lines per page (the standard for letter size
- paper is usually 66, but to accommodate those with laser printers we
- used 60 here) we will leave this setting as it is. Next enter 5 for
- the Start Indexing on Page entry, (we want to skip the first 4 pages
- that contain the title page, the disclaimer, and the table of
- contents) and leave the First Page Number to use setting at 1.
-
-
- The completed window should look like this:
- |
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ │
- │ Input File Name: (Name of Document to process) │
- │ <pci.doc % │
- │ │
- │ Output File Name: │
- │ <pci.srt % │
- │ │
- │ Page Size Start Indexing on Page First Page Number to use│
- │ < 60^ < 5^ < 1% │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- ^
- When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
- press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.DOC'.
-
- You should now see a window which gives you the current status and
- tells you how the processing of PCI.DOC is going. You will be kept
- informed of how many characters, lines, words, and pages have been
- processed as well as how many matches have been found.
-
- This process should only take a few seconds for PCI.DOC.
-
-
- |STEP TWO: Edit Extracted word file^
-
- This step is optional, although you will probably want to use it. It
- gives you a chance to fine tune the index before you complete it. By
- using this option, you can deactivate words so that they will not be
- included in the index and change the case of words that are included
- from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa.
-
- Select the 'Edit Extracted word file' option from the EDIT menu. You
- will be asked for an input filename. PC-INDEX will enter the name of
- the output file from the Extract Words option, PCI.SRT. Just leave
- the name alone and press enter. After a few seconds you will see a
- list of each unique word in PCI.DOC and the number of times that each
- word occurred.
-
- To the far left of each word are a set of brackets and an asterisk.
- The presence or absence of an asterisk indicates whether or not the
- word is active. If a word is active, it will be included in the index
- when it is created. Words can be toggled one at a time between being
- active and inactive by using the spacebar. The words can also be
- toggled as a group between being active and inactive by pressing F2.
- By pressing F2 all words will be alternately set to active or
- inactive.
-
- If you have individual words which need to be different you may change
- them here. For instance go to the entry 'ASCII'. Since ASCII is an
- abbreviation it needs to be listed in uppercase. By pressing F3, the
- entry will be changed immediately to all uppercase if it isn't
- already. You may have a name which needs to have the first letter
- uppercase and the rest lowercase. For example go to the entry
- 'Australia'. By pressing F5 you can change the word from australia to
- Australia. In the same manner, pressing F4 would change the word to
- all lower case.
-
- If you are processing a large document, you may have more words than
- the Edit Extracted Word File option will allow you to work with at one
- time. Edit Extracted Word File allows up to 1000 unique words to be
- in memory at any one time. If your list contains more than 1000
- words, you can get the next group of words by pressing F7. You can
- continue this process until you have worked with the entire list. You
- can go back to the first group (the top of the list) by pressing F6.
-
- When you are done editing the word list press ESCape to return to the
- main menu. All changes have already been saved.
-
-
-
- |STEP THREE: Build Single Word Index^
-
- The third and final step 'Build Single Word Index' is found under the
- FILE menu. This step takes the file created by the 'Extract Single
- Words' selection and edited by the 'Edit Extracted Word File'
- selection and creates the index.
-
- Select 'Build Single Word Index' from the FILE menu. You will be
- asked for the input file and output file. PC-INDEX remembers the name
- that you gave the file ('PCI.SRT') when you extracted the word list.
- You should leave this name as it is.
-
- Next you will be asked what name you want to use for the output file.
- This is the name that the actual index will be called. For this
- example we'll call it 'PCI.NDX'.
-
- The next entry is the Wildcard Description File Name. This entry is
- only used if you are processing several files at the same time. We
- won't use it here.
-
- Next, PC-INDEX wants to know the page length (how many lines per page)
- you want to use. The default setting is 66 which is the proper
- setting for letter size paper. If you are using legal size paper, the
- proper setting would be 88. This number does not need to match the
- lines per page setting you used when you selected 'Extract Words'.
- Most laser printers will only output 60 lines per page. If you will
- be printing the index to a laser printer you will want to set this
- option to 60.
-
- The next item to fill in is the page width. Here you will enter the
- total number of characters that will fit on one line. The maximum
- width accepted by PC-INDEX is 132 characters. The number next to page
- width in reverse video is the calculated width required for the
- settings you have selected.
-
- Next, PC-INDEX asks you the number of columns you would like the
- output to be in. You will be able to produce an index up to four
- columns wide. An example of a two column index is included at the end
- of this document.
-
- The column width is the next entry. This entry controls the width of
- each column in the index. The minimum allowable width is 30
- characters and the maximum is 99.
-
- The number of spaces between columns can range from 1 to 9 characters.
-
- Next fill in the top, bottom, left, and right margins to the settings
- that you wish.
-
- The completed input window should look something like this:|
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Input File Name: │
- │ <pci.srt % │
- │ │
- │ Output File Name: │
- │ <pci.ndx % │
- │ │
- │ Wildcard Description File: (Leave blank if not needed) │
- │ < % │
- │ │
- │ Page Size Page Width (Columns) Number of Columns │
- │ < 66^ < 80^ < 78^ < 2% │
- │ Column Width Space Between Columns Top Margin │
- │ < 30^ < 3^ < 5% │
- │ Bottom Margin Left Margin Right Margin │
- │ < 5^ < 10^ < 5% │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- ^
- When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
- press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.SRT'.
-
- You should see a status box which tells you the number of words to be
- processed, the number of words actually processed, the letter of the
- alphabet currently being processed, percentage completed, and the
- elapsed time.
-
- @
-
- |INDEX TYPE TWO: PHRASE INDEX^
-
- The phrase index feature of PC-INDEX will quickly create an index
- listing the page number(s) of all phrases that you provide. You can
- create this list using any word processor, or you can use PC-INDEX to
- create it for you.
-
- |STEP ONE: Extract Phrases^
-
- To begin using PC-INDEX type PCI and press enter.
-
- This option will extract all phrases that you provided and record them
- in sorted order along with the page number that they occur on.
-
- First, select Text (ASCII) as the document type from the Document
- menu. If the wrong document type is selected, results will be
- unpredictable.
-
- Next, select the Extract Phrases option from the FILE menu, by using
- the cursor keys and pressing ENTER. You should now see a new window
- asking you for an input filename, an output filename, the page size,
- the first page number to start indexing on, and the first page number
- to use.
-
- For the input filename type 'PCI.DOC' and press enter. For the
- output filename type 'PCI.SRT' and press enter. Since this document
- was created using 60 lines per page (the standard for letter size
- paper is usually 66, but to accommodate those with laser printers we
- used 60 here) we will leave this setting as it is. Next enter 5 for
- the Start Indexing on Page entry, (we want to skip the first 4 pages
- that contain the title page, the disclaimer, and the table of
- contents) and leave the First Page Number to use setting at 1.
-
- The completed window should look something like this:|
- ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ │
- │ Input File Name: (Name of Document to process) │
- │ <pci.doc % │
- │ │
- │ Output File Name: │
- │ <pci.srt % │
- │ │
- │ Page Size Start Indexing on Page First Page Number to use│
- │ < 60^ < 5^ < 1% │
- └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- ^
- When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
- press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.DOC'.
-
- You should now see a window which gives you the current status and
- tells you how the processing of PCI.DOC is going. You will be kept
- informed of how many characters, lines, words, and pages have been
- processed as well as how many matches have been found.
-
- This process should only take a few seconds for PCI.DOC.
-
-
- |STEP TWO: Build Phrase Index^
-
- The second and final step 'Build Phrase Index' is found under the FILE
- menu. This step takes the file created by the 'Extract Phrases'
- selection and creates the final index.
-
- Select 'Build Phrase Index' from the FILE menu. You will be asked for
- the input file and output file. PC-INDEX remembers the name that you
- gave the file ('PCI.SRT') when you extracted the phrases. You should
- leave this name as it is.
-
- Next you will be asked what name you want to use for the output file.
- This is the name that the actual index will be called. For this
- example we'll call it 'PCI.NDX'.
-
- The next entry is the Wildcard Description File Name. This entry is
- only used if you are processing several files at the same time. We
- won't use it here.
-
- Next, PC-INDEX wants to know the page length (how many lines per page)
- you want to use. The default setting is 66 which is the proper
- setting for letter size paper. If you are using legal size paper, the
- proper setting would be 88. This number does not need to match the
- lines per page setting you used when you selected 'Extract Phrases'.
- Most laser printers will only output 60 lines per page. If you will
- be printing the index on a laser printer you will want to set this
- option to 60.
-
- The next item to fill in is the page width. Here you will enter the
- total number of characters that will fit on one line. The maximum
- width accepted by PC-INDEX is 132 characters. The number next to page
- width in reverse video is the calculated width required for the
- settings you have selected.
-
- Next, PC-INDEX asks you the number of columns you would like the
- output to be in. You will be able to produce an index up to four
- columns wide if your phrases are small enough. An example of a two
- column phrase index is included at the end of this document.
-
- The column width is the next entry. This entry controls the width of
- each column in the index. The minimum allowable width is calculated
- by PC-INDEX and is equal to the longest phrase that you entered. The
- maximum is 99 characters.
-
- The number of spaces between columns can range from 1 to 9 characters.
-
- Next fill in the top, bottom, left, and right margins to the settings
- that you wish.
-
- The completed input window should look something like this:
- |
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
- │ Input File Name: │
- │ <pci.srt % │
- │ │
- │ Output File Name: │
- │ <pci.ndx % │
- │ │
- │ Wildcard Description File: (Leave blank if not needed) │
- │ < % │
- │ │
- │ Page Size Page Width (Columns) Number of Columns │
- │ < 66^ < 80^ < 78^ < 2% │
- │ Column Width Space Between Columns Top Margin │
- │ < 30^ < 3^ < 5% │
- │ Bottom Margin Left Margin Right Margin │
- │ < 5^ < 10^ < 5% │
- └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- ^
- When you have finished entering the filenames and other information,
- press F10 to begin processing 'PCI.SRT'.
-
- You should see a status box which tells you the number of phrases to
- be processed, the number of phrases actually processed, the letter of
- the alphabet currently being processed, percentage completed, and the
- elapsed time.

- @ this is where the kwic menu type info was stored. ---
-
-
-
- @
-
- |FILE menu:^
-
- The FILE menu has nine available selections: Extract Single Words,
- Extract Capitalized Words, Build Single Word Index, Word Frequency,
- Spinoff Unique Words, Extract Phrases, Build Phrase Index, Save
- Settings, and Quit.
-
- This menu is broken down into three categories: single word functions,
- phrase functions, and save settings and quit.
-
-
- |Extract Single Words^
-
- Extract Single Words is the first item in the menu. It is also the
- first step performed in creating a single word index. It's function
- is to extract each individual word from the document and record it.
-
- This option will extract all words in the document, one at a time, and
- record them in sorted order along with the page number that they occur
- on.
-
-
- |Extract Capitalized Words^
-
- The Extract Capitalized Words selection works in exactly the same
- manner as Extract Single Words, except that it only extracts
- capitalized words (like names).
-
-
- |Build Single Word Index^
-
- Build Single Word Index is the final step in creating a single word
- index. It takes the file created by the 'Extract Single Words'
- selection and edited by the 'Edit Extracted Word File' selection and
- creates an index.
-
- |Word Frequency^
-
- Word Frequency builds a word frequency list. This file contains all
- unique words in alphabetical order and the number of times that each
- word was used. This file is built from an extracted single word file.
- If you want a complete listing of all words, be sure to extract words
- using the 'Don't use any Word List' option (found in the Options
- menu).
-
- If you have not already created an extracted single word file, then
- you will need to do this first.
-
-
- |Spinoff List^
-
- Spinoff List creates an ASCII text file of words from an extracted
- single word file. This can be particularly helpful when you are
- creating a customized include word list or discard word list.
-
- This option will quickly go through an extracted word file and
- write out all unique words to a file. This file can then be used as
- either an include or discard word list. By editing the file with the
- Edit Extracted word file (found under the Edit Menu) you can mark or
- un-mark unique words. Then when you spin off a list you can spin off
- either the marked words or the un-marked words.
-
-
- |Extract Phrases^
-
- Extract Phrases will search through a document and find all
- occurrences of a list of phrases. It is the first step performed in
- creating a phrase index. It's function is to extract each individual
- phrase from a document and record it.
-
-
- |Build Phrase Index^
-
- Build Phrase Index is the final step in creating a phrase index.
- Build Phrase Index takes the file created by the 'Extract Phrases'
- selection creates the phrase index.
-
-
- |Save Settings^
-
- Save Settings saves the current settings in the OPTIONS and DOCUMENT
- menus. It will also save all numeric settings in the various dialogue
- boxes and save the word list filenames.
-
- |Quit^
-
- Quit exits PC-INDEX and returns you to the DOS prompt.
-
-
- @
-
- |EDIT menu:^
-
- The EDIT menu has six available selections: Edit Custom Character
- Set, Edit Discard Word File, Edit Include Word File, Edit Phrase File,
- Edit Extracted Word File, and Edit Word List Filename.
-
-
- |Edit Custom character set:^
-
- The custom character set is a list of characters that will be allowed
- to be part of a word. This feature gives you a great deal of
- flexibility in determining what characters a word can contain. For
- instance you will obviously want to include all alphabetical
- characters, but you may or may not want numbers, hyphens, apostrophes,
- or other punctuation characters to be allowed in a word.
-
- There are 256 possible characters and any character except a space can
- be valid in a word. To allow or disallow a character simply position
- it under the highlight bar and press the spacebar.
-
- If a character is not valid in a word then PC-INDEX assumes that a new
- word begins there. There are a few cases which you need to plan for.
- For instance, the way PC-INDEX comes configured, hyphens and
- apostrophes will not be included in a word. Words like wouldn't and
- couldn't will not be kept together. If this is going to be a problem
- for you, then use the custom character set and mark the hyphen and
- apostrophe and any other character which may cause a problem for you.
-
-
- |EDIT Discard word file^
-
- The Discard word file contains a list of words which can be searched
- during the Extract words selection. If the 'Use Discard Word List'
- option is selected from the options menu, when a word is extracted
- from a document, the Discard word file is searched. If a match is
- found then the extracted word will be discarded and will not be
- included in the index.
-
- Over 1000 words are included in the Discard word list right now. Many
- words are words like a, and, the, if, or, etc. You may want to take a
- look at the words currently in the list to see if they meet your
- needs.
-
- By using the EDIT Discard word file, you can add, edit, or delete
- words from the list to customize it. Up to 3000 words can be included
- in the list.
-
- By pressing F3, you will be allowed to edit the word that is under the
- highlight bar. By pressing F4, you will be allowed to add words to
- the list. As you add new words to the list, they will be inserted in
- the correct place so that the list remains in alphabetical order. You
- can have up to 3000 words in the discard word list. Press F2 when you
- are ready to save the modified discard word list.
-
-
- |EDIT Include word file^
-
- The Include word file contains a list of words which can be searched
- during the Extract words selection. If the Use Include Word List
- option is selected from the options menu, when a word is extracted
- from a document, the Include word file is searched. If a match is
- found then the extracted word will be included in the index.
-
- There are no words included in the Include word list as it ships. By
- using the EDIT Include word file option, you can add, edit, or delete
- words from the list to customize it. Up to 3000 words can be included
- in the list.
-
- There is a shortcut you can use to create a customized include word
- list very easily. By using the Spinoff List option (under the file
- menu) you can quickly spin off a list of unique words in alphabetical
- order. This list can then be used as an include word list or a
- discard word list.
-
- See the Spinoff List option for more information.
-
-
- |Edit Phrase List^
-
- The Phrase List file contains a list of phrases which will be searched
- during the Extract Phrases selection. As PC-INDEX processes the
- document, the Phrase List file is continuously searched. If a match
- is found then the extracted phrase will be included in the index.
-
- There are no phrases in the phrase list as it ships. By using the
- EDIT Phrase List option, you can add, edit, or delete phrases from the
- list to customize it. Up to 3000 phrases can be included in the list.
-
-
-
- |EDIT Extracted word file^
-
- This is an optional step in creating a single word index. It gives
- you a chance to fine tune the index before you complete it. By using
- this option, you can deactivate words so that they will not be
- included in the index and change the case of words that are included
- (from lowercase to uppercase and vice versa).
-
- After selecting Edit Extracted word file from the Edit Menu. Enter
- the name of the extracted word file that you want to edit. This may
- take a few seconds to load.
-
- On the far left you will see a set of brackets with an asterisk. The
- asterisk means that the word is active and will be included in the
- index. By pressing the spacebar you can toggle individual words
- between active and inactive. With this technique you can quickly cut
- out words that you don't want to include.
-
- By pressing F2 you can toggle all words between being active and
- inactive. This function will allow you to clear all entries and then
- go through the list and mark only the words that you want. By using
- this technique along with the Spinoff List option, you can quickly and
- easily create an include word file or a discard word file.
-
- By pressing F3 you can change individual words to all upper case, by
- pressing F4 you can change individual words to all lower case, and by
- pressing F5 you can change individual words so that the first
- character is upper case and the rest of the word is lower case.
-
- The Edit Extracted Word File function will load a maximum of 1000
- unique words at one time. If you have a very large file, it may be
- larger than 1000 words. If that is the case, then PC-INDEX will only
- load the first 1000 unique words. By pressing F7, you can move
- through the file so that you can edit the entire file. F6 will move
- you back to the beginning of the file.
-
-
- |Edit Word List Filenames^
-
- PC-INDEX allows you to change the names of the INCLUDE, DISCARD, and
- PHRASE lists that it uses. This way you can use a word processor or
- PC-INDEX to create new lists without destroying existing lists or
- having to constantly rename the files. Select Edit Word List
- Filenames from the Edit Menu and you will see a window that looks like
- this:
- |
- ┌─── Edit Word List Filenames ──────────────────────────────┐
- │ │
- │ Discard Word List Filename: │
- │ <DISCARD.WRD % │
- │ │
- │ Include Word List Filename: │
- │ <INCLUDE.WRD % │
- │ │
- │ Phrase List Filename: │
- │ <PHRASE.WRD % │
- └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
- ^
- You can now select the filename that you want to change and type in
- any name that you wish.
-
-
- @
-
- |OPTIONS menu^
-
- The OPTIONS menu has eight available selections. There are three
- basic groups of selections: case selection, compare list, and
- eliminate duplicates.
-
- The first group of options determines what case the characters will be
- converted to when written to disk.
-
- For consistency, PC-INDEX can convert all words to be the same case as
- they are being extracted. If you want to do any conversion, you have
- three choices. Convert words to UPPER CASE will convert all words to
- upper case, Convert words to lower case will convert all words to
- lower case, and Convert words to UPPER & lower case will convert the
- first letter in the word to upper case and the rest of the word to
- lower case. If you select No Conversion then no conversion will take
- place.
-
- The second group of options determines which words will be included in
- the extracted word list.
-
- You have three options to determine which words will be included.
-
- Don't Use any Word List: When this option is selected every word in
- the document will be included. Common words like 'a', 'and', 'the',
- etc. will be indexed using this option.
-
- Use Discard Word List: When the Use Discard Word List option is
- selected, PC-INDEX will compare the extracted word to the discard word
- list. If a match is found, the extracted word will be discarded and
- will not be included in the extracted word list or the index.
-
- Use Include Word List: When the Use Include Word list option is
- selected, PC-INDEX will compare the extracted word to the include
- word list. If a match is found, the extracted word will be included
- in the extracted word list and the index.
-
- The last option is Eliminate Duplicate Words. It will speed up
- processing of large files and reduce the size of files produced by
- PC-INDEX. When this option is selected any duplicates that occur
- on the same page will be deleted.
-
-
-
- @
-
- |DOCUMENT menu:^
-
- If you are using the shareware version of PC-INDEX you will only be
- able to index ASCII files. The ability to process files without
- converting them to ASCII is only available with the registered version
- of PC-INDEX.
-
