DECUS Library Catalog

This directory tree contains, in machine readable form, the entire
DECUS library catalog. In addition to current material (in the top
level directory), the [.older] directory contains catalog material
which has been deleted from the DECUS library catalog. It describes
items in the DECUS library which are still available, but for which
orders have been slow enough that they have been removed from the
master catalog to keep the total distribution size down. These
descriptions go back to 1987. Items from older DECUS Library catalogs
are still also available (provided their media can still be read), but
machine readable catalog information is not available for these.

  In addition to the "flat file" catalog information, a "browser"
program is provided to allow searches to be done on catalog
text by keyword or combinations of keywords. Indices are provided
pre-generated to facilitate searches of all text presented. The
browser program can view keywords, KWIC ("KeyWord In Context")
text, or the original text. See the AAAREADME file in the
browser directory for more information. Browser can also be used
as a full text database program for arbitrary text files.

  The [decuslib...] directory tree contains the raw Decus Library
catalog information. The [Libndx] directory contains the
Browser utility and the catalog information and indices set
up for use with Browser, plus all sources to Browser.
