I've got large encyclopedia-type files, up to 3 meg--- text-files. When I was using IBM, I used a very fast,dynamic program called ASK SAM to do word searches in these text-files. ASK SAM turned my textfiles into databases and then would pull out every paragraph that had the term or terms I was lookin for. Now I'm using a MAC SE with harddisk. Does anybody know if there is an equivalent of ASK SAM for MAC? It would do fast searches of large files and could use BOOLEAN logic to do word searches.... it would be able to put together all the entries between two CRs into one file and dis- play them. If anybody canhelp me it would advance the cause of Tibetan Translation inthe West immensely. This is the first computerized Tibetan dictionary in the history of this particular buddha field. Please send me EMAIL at RKORNMAN@PUCC.PRINCETON.EDU THANKS. Robin Kornman
