I am about posting my text retrieval package in 13 parts (14 if you count this one). The package has been fairly sfable for about 18 months now, and has been ported to a number of systems. If you don't get it all, or some of it is ill, or you're feeling bored, you can also ftp it from cs.toronto.edu [128.100.1.65]. The file there is lq-text1.10.tar.Z -- there is also a README, but this is included in the tar, so you don't need both. The ftp distribution includes a few more files -- sdbm and an extra test file -- but you don't need those to get running; they're only there in case there are problems, and will go away soon, I expect. The README contains instructions for installation -- it's really very simple. If you are using the alt.sources distribution, you may need to run the src/UseHash shell script to make all the header files appear in the right places. You will certainly need to edit src/Makefile at least a little, but there are comments and it's really just a case of choosing the right configuration. Please do mail me if you find lq-text useful. I also keep a mailing list of users to whom I send out bug reports and patches, so let me know if you want to be on that. I'm also receptive to new ideas... Lee -- Liam R. E.
