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

SUMMARY:

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