About Textware:
Textware is a search and retrieval engine for DOS, Windows, or Macintosh
computers. Textware uses the indexed database on the CD-ROM to allow for
rapid search and retrieval of the data. To get help press F1 (on DOS) or use
"Help" under the "Help" menu item(on Macintosh and Windows.) The articles from
Newsbytes are organized in reverse chronological order on this CD-
ROM (so that more recent, hence more important, articles are first.)
Each article is referred to as a "Card" and may contain one or more
pages of text. Each "Card" is an article straight from Newsbytes.
You can search the entire database using keywords and will find
articles covering telecommunications, computing trends, general
computing news, Government, and special articles on UNIX, IBM, and
Apple. Also included are reviews of software and hardware,
editorials, stock reports, and more, collected from the archives of
Newbytes News Network.
Searches can be made for one or more words. When doing a search a
"Hit List" is generated and can be viewed. This list contains
summaries of "Card"s with an occurrence or occurrences of what was
searched for. When viewing a "Card" in the "Hit List" the searched
for words will appear highlighted.

Search for less known people such as "Steve Jobs."
