Samuel, What is Viewer? Is it a _search_ and retrieval package, or are there indexes prebuilt. Without prebuilt indexes, searching our largest database (80meg) becomes a career at 153kb/sec. The package we're using now keeps only info about whether a word is in a document or not, and then has to read each document found by the boolean search to see if the words make a phrase. We spend lots of time looking at the busy light <no grin>. But yes, in general you've describe what I'd like to find. Frank `
