The installation was easy and painless. The setup
program does give you the option of where to install the program.
The purpose of this program is to build a HTML index of the words
on a Web site. If that is what you need, this program does it
effortlessly. It guides you through the process painlessly. First
of all you pick what you want to index, you can index a directory
tree, one Web page, or selected Web pages. Then you select, with
an Explorer interface the page(s), or directory tree. After that
you pick where you want it to create the files it makes. Then it
scans the source file and builds your index.
You can create an index file of all the words in your page(s), or
directory easily, however to get the results you are probably
looking for is going to take more work. To test this program I
tried it out on a 10 page Web site, and let it index all the
words. Here are some of less than useful words it found and
indexed, aartolahti, absotootely, and beaming-up. (No this is not
a Star Wars Site). To get useful results you are going to have to
do some work. The good news is that this program allows you the
options needed to produce some useful results. Here is what it
does, after it has indexed, it then allows you to select from a
list that you have built, of words that should be included and
others that should be excluded. Now it is turning into a real
useful tool. After this step, you are given the choice of having
it build one file including all the words, one file per A.. B..
C.., or one file per word. Then you are done..
OK, here is what you get. It generates an HTML page that looks
nice and has links to all those words you wanted indexed. Since
it is a HTML page, you can, of course easily modify it with your
favorite editor. I can think of a number of uses for this useful
program.
In conclusion, it setups easily, works without gliches and
produces useful results. The only downside is the lack of a
useful Help file, however you probably won't need the Help file.
(it does have that little "?" Help that you can drag to
an item and get context Help.) Also their Web site has a lot of
information.
Check it out! You may find this program is something you have
been looking for and need. It is fully operational for 30 days,
you should be able to make a decision by then.
