Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'text/concordance-211.hqx' Uploaded 03/25/1998 102927 bytes From: pompamagna@geocities.com Subject: Concordance 2.1 Concordance 2.1.1 - Concordance maker. Concordance is freeware. © 1995-1998 by Giovanni Giusti . Concordance picks a TEXT file, reads it, then displays some information about the original file, such as size, number of words, number of different words, etc. It also creates an index containing a list (the "concordance") of all the words, together with how many times each word appeared in the original. Thus it is useful for statistical purposes ("How many times did I mention "barracuda" in my article?"). This list can be sorted prior to saving. Starting from version 2, you can also output a list (the "wordlist") of all the words with the "pages" they have appeared in - a sort of very basic indexing. The problem is obviously that plain-text files don't have any page breaks, so the "page" is calculated on a n-characters-per-page basis. This list, unfortunately, cannot be sorted, because it is created on the fly while saving it. But you can sort it through your favourite word processor, can't you? Changes since v. 2.1 Thanks to the feedback of a German friend, I lengthened the maximum word length from 25 to 35 (I hadn't mentioned this before, I thought there was no need). Also, I am implementing Drag&Drop - in the hope it'll work. -- Pompamagna home page:
