Re: LOCATE diskette
LOCATE is a system for finding out which files contain which words.
It consists of two programs INDEX and LOCATE. INDEX scans files and
builds an index. LOCATE uses that index to make a list of files
containing the specified keywords.
LOCATE is published as "user supported software" or "shareware". We
would like to receive a "use fee" of $20 per user and a support fee of
$20 per user per year per year if you need our help. Once the license
agreement is executed, we would like you to make and distribute copies
of the diskette.
There is no manual. The diskette contains numerous files on various
aspects of the programs. Print what you need. An overview of the
technology is contained in "CAFR" and enough instructions to run the
program are contained in "INSTALL", "INDEXOP", and "LOCATEOP".
We are primarily interested in developing novel and useful software.
LOCATE is but one small example of the kind of things we do. We
would like to explore other ventures with users and software developers.
LOCATE was a lot of fun to write, we hope you will have fun with it too.
