An infobase consists of the original text plus full text indexing. The total file size is about half that of the original text, due to some clever file compression. As one might expect, the searching facility is powerful, supporting Booleans, wildcards, and proximity criteria. Reference links may be made to other folios, external programs, PCX graphics, or audio files in RealSound format. Nodes may be grouped in clusters to facilitate organization and comparisons between groups.
Text editing features include block operations and highlighting.
The interface is based on a window paradigm and supports a mouse. On-line help is available. The runtime module allows read-only access. Licenses for those who wish to sell their infobases are also available. The price structure and limited hypertext functionality restrict our interest in this otherwise capable product.
