How do you like Folio so far. Do you have many images along with text? If so, does it handle images okay. – Dan

Dan, Re: Folio Views I'm not using Folio Views for CDs (yet), but we are using it as our free text database for fairly large text files, e.g., 12 MB, and on a 350 node LAN, access is usually less than a second. Very impressive. We very much like the end-user searching interface, but while the authoring portion tends to be a bit "arcane" to learn, it is VERY powerful and we like it. However, one of the areas which needs improvement is its somewhat limited ability to deal with images/graphs. Right now, to view a graph, the user has to select a "token" which loads a PCX viewer. I'm going to Salt Lake City next week to the Folio conference, where I expect Folio to announce a DOS upgrade and a Windows version. I assume these will improve things. As I think I had said before, there is now a Folio CIS forum called FOLIO which you might want to start monitoring if your interested. // Gerry

Thanks for all the information, as soon as I select which forum to delete from my Tapcis directory, I will add Folio's. – Dan
