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.
