BIBL/NET features include:

- full NOVELL locking supported. Advanced routines enable BIBL to avoid
record-locking (which has a serious impact on network performance) and yet
provide complete database integrity.
- support for up to 50 simultaneous users (100 user version available)
- six levels of security ensure database integrity and
protect files from unwanted modification. BIBL/NET automatically
defaults to READ-ONLY access if a user is not in the BIBL
security database--making it easy to offer BIBL/NET to most users.
- multiple databases are supported. Users with level 3 or
greater security may create and maintain PERSONAL
databases...inaccessible to other users.
- REGISTERED VERSION only. BIBL/NET picks up the user login name
from NetWare (if in the BIBL/NET security database, user need
only enter password -- simplifying login)
- mouse-support
- easily understood user interface (bounce-bar menus or first letter of each command).
- five indexes are maintained (in a single file) for fast
retrieval and sorted extracts (author, author/title, title,
descriptor and location/author).
- up to 9 words from the keyword field are indexed individually.
- automatic detection of Windows 3.1 - when running under Windows,
the Save function changes to the CLIP function, enabling you to
move an individual record to the Windows clipboard with a single
keystroke.
- each user has a system record which stores his 'home'
directory (for export and storage of PRIVATE databases).
- produces bibliographies in several forms (brief, annotated,
full (and with registered version labelled), full) based on
information in any field. Each bibliography is sorted by
author, then within author, by title.
- when no match is made on an indexed search, BIBL/NET displays
where in the index your query would have appeared (near misses).
- produces a wide variety of lists (in ASCII form) which may be
printed or edited with any word-processor that accepts ASCII
files for input (most do).
- an ASCII file viewer that supports a mouse, and is
moveable, resizeable, and ZOOMable. File viewer points
automatically to users 'local' directory--the same place
BIBL/NET export files (reports) are routed.
- ability to print or save to disk any individual record.
- main menu screen always reports active database, security
level of user, and number of records in the file.
- verification of keywords during data entry (if desired)
- Boolean AND, OR, NOT searching supported for ALL fields. Up to
four terms may be used. May also limit search to descriptor field.
- Selected reports (list of subjects, list of titles, etc) may be
viewed onscreen and/or sent to disk.
- BIBL/NET can produce a comma-delimited file of the database.
- any ASCII file may be used for display when I (INFORMATION) is
pressed on the main menu.
- Shell to DOS (heap compression frees additional memory)
- Global Find & Replace for text in ANY field, across a database.
- BIBL/NET will run in 43/50 line mode.

INSTALLATION

Installing BIBL/NET on your network is relatively simple.
Follow these three steps:

NOTE! Be sure to assign user names that are
IDENTICAL to the user name used by NOVELL. BIBL/NET
will carry the NOVELL username into the security
routine and check the BIBL/NET security database
(BIBLSEC.DAT) for that name. If a user in BIBLSEC.DAT
has a different user name than the NOVELL login name,
then no match will be possible and the user will
have ONLY read access to the system.

1. On your local machine (not necessarily on the net)
run BNETSEC.EXE to create the security database (BIBLSEC.DAT
and BIBLSEC.IX) BIBL uses. When finished, move BIBLSEC.
DAT and BIBLSEC.IX to the public (applications) directory where
you will be running BIBLNET.EXE. IMPORTANT! Flag both
BIBLSEC.DAT and BIBLSEC.IX as RWSH (read/write share
hidden). Netware Command: FLAG BIBLSEC.* RWSH [return]

This will allow BIBL/NET to find them but hides
them from your users. Note that the information in
BIBLSEC.DAT is encrypted...to aid in maintaining security.
ONLY code within BIBLNET (the program) and BIBLSEC (the
security maintenance utility) will enable you to 'see'
what's in the security database. For this, and other
obvious reasons, don't put BNETSEC.EXE in your public
directory--otherwise users will have access to your
security. You can run BNETSEC from your local hard disk
and point it to your network database area via the
BNETSEC command line (e.g., BNETSEC y:\apps\gmutant).

2. Copy BIBLNET.EXE and BIBLNET.HLP to the public (applications)
directory where you just put BIBLSEC.DAT and BIBLSEC.IX. Flag
both files ROS (read only share). You can flag BIBLNET.HLP
as ROSH (read only share hidden) if you wish.
If you want to install the demonstration database, copy
DEMO.DAT and DEMO.IX to that directory as well. Flag those
files RWS (Read-Write, SHARE). Users must have read/write/create
access in the BIBL/NET subdirectory!

3. Log onto the network and type BIBLNET to activate the
program. Enter your user name (you assigned it during
your initial session with BNETSEC.EXE), then your
password. You will then be given access to the program.


Here's how BIBL/NET is run on our Novell 2.20 (50 user) Lan:

First, BIBLNET.EXE BNETSEC.DAT BNETSEC.IX and BIBLNET.HLP all
reside in a public applications directory named Y:\APPS\GMUTANT.

Next, each user is mapped to a home directory (in our case H:) that looks to the
user like a root H: drive. This is where all their personal files for Quattro Pro,
BIBL/NET and other shared applications reside. It is this drive that we enter for
each user in the BNETSEC.DAT security database (Export Path). Since each user
is mapped there as a ROOT drive, all that needs to be entered in the BIBL/NET
security database is H:\.

Finally, our NOVELL menu program contains a BIBL/NET option which, when
selected, runs this BATCH file:

@Echo off
Y:
cd\apps\gmutant
BIBLNET
cd\apps
H:

This changes the directory to where BIBLNET resides (Y:\APPS\GMUTANT)
so that directory will be the default when BIBL/NET activates--important since
we have to be able to find BNETSEC.DAT and the databases.

When the program exits, it sets the drive back to H:


BIBL/NET SECURITY

When a user signs onto the BIBL/NET system, he must provide
a UserName (which you assign) and a password. Based on
this information, BIBL/NET checks the security database and
assigns the user a security level (0 - 5). The security
level of the user determines what sorts of things he
can do within the program.

LEVEL 0: A user with Security Level 0 receives READ-ONLY
access to BIBL/NET databases. No export is allowed. This
might be the security level for GUEST users... Note
that you don't really need an entry in your security
file for LEVEL 0 users...that's the default.

LEVEL 1: Similar to level 0, although user is allowed to
export data from public databases to his local workstation.

LEVEL 2: User may add records but has no edit or delete capability.

LEVEL 3: User may add records. User may also edit and/or
delete any records he or she has created, but not records
created by others. This is probably your most common security
level--at least for users you want to have adding records...
but unable to delete records added by others.

Users at Level 3 and above may also create personal
(private) databases that are stored in their Export
path (as defined via BNETSEC). Level 3 and above
users can create/delete private databases, run
global change on private databases, and run ascii
import.

LEVEL 4: User may add, edit or delete *any* records in
*any* public database.

LEVEL 5: All rights. This user may also create and/or delete
databases and may initiate index rebuilding and ASCII
(BIX file) import. You should not have too many LEVEL 5
users since some activities able to be performed by this
level user will have a dramatic impact on BIBL/NET's
performance for other users (e.g., importing ASCII (BIX) files).

For each user, beyond assigning a user name (12 characters max),
a password (11 characters max) and a security level (1-5), you
may also indicate a subdirectory on their local machine where
exported information (reports, individual record dumps, etc)
may be directed. The individual user may modify either his
password or this Local Export path at any time from the
BIBL/NET maintenance menu.

Additionally, you must assign a 3 letter code for each user
(typically their initials). This code is 'STAMPED' in each
record that individual creates on the system. It is this code
that BIBL/NET checks (along with the user's security level) to
determine who may delete and/or edit the record. You might
consider using letters that don't typically occur in words...
in that way, you can find all the records 'owned' by a given
user by searching the code under FULL SEARCH.

Typical entry in the security database:

UserName: WALLYG
Password: MRWALDO
UserStamp: CWG <- all records created by user get this
SecurityLevel: 3
ExportPath: H:\BIBL\ <- this is where private databases reside

* IMPORTANT *

After building your initial security database
(BIBLSEC.DAT and BIBLSEC.IX), move both files to the
network drive where BIBLNET.EXE resides and flag both
files (BIBLSEC.DAT and BIBLSEC.IX) as HIDDEN, READ/WRITE.

The data in the file is encrypted so users can't download
the datafile and deduce passwords; however, if you don't
HIDE the files, BIBLSEC.DAT will show up as a database
under BIBL and cause a trashed display for the user who
selects it!

Adding more users at a later date

To add additional users at any time, run BNETSEC and
point it to your production security database on the
network drive. This is done via the command line
(e.g., BNETSEC Y:\APPS\GMUTANT). BNETSEC implements
file locking to enable you to modify the database--even
if a user is simultaneously updating his or her
record (password or export directory).

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

BIBL (rhymes with nibble) /NET is a simple to use, networked online
catalog for your personal and/or business library. Written in
Borland Pascal 7.0 and using full B-tree indexing (thanks to
TurboPower's B-Tree Filer package), the system is fast, small,
and very efficient. Menu-driven, BIBL/NET can be used to track your
book collection, article reprints, index your vertical file,
manage a small office library, and so on... In most areas
bounce-bar menus are used. To select a particular option,
move the bar via the cursor until your desired operation
is highlighted, then press RETURN. If you're a touch typist,
you might prefer pressing the highlighted letter within (or
just to the left of) the choice you wish to make (e.g.,
Press S to activate SEARCH on the main menu). On single
line menus (e.g., when displaying matches), you may hit the
highlighted letter to execute the command, or move between
them via the TAB key. Clicking a mouse on your menu choice
will also activate it.

Command Line Switches ( /m or /v )

If on a monochrome monitor you find you can not clearly read the
various BIBL/NET status line displays, activate program with an '/m'
switch (for mono), e.g., BIBLNET /M .

You may use any combination of command line arguments, in any
order--with the exception that FILENAME if it appears must
be the first one.

BIBL/NET will also run in 43 or 50 line mode (EGA or VGA) if you
start the program with a /v switch. BIBL/NET will automatically
detect hardware and make the appropriate setting.


MAIN MENU OPTIONS
Security Option
Level Description

0-5 L List items in the database. This option allows you to
move through the database a record at a time. The records
appear in the order in which they were entered into the
system. Pressing L on the main menu takes you to the last
record in the file (the assumption being that you are
probably more interested in the more recent records). You
may move about the file via the J (Jump) command--which
'jumps' you to the record number you enter. If user has a
security level of 2 or below, the edit and delete options
are disabled. At level 3, options are enabled if user
created the records (record contains his 3 letter User Stamp).

0-5 S Search a database. Supports a variety of search types.

1-5 E Export data. Enables user to produce a variety of reports.

1-5 V View ASCII file(s). Allows user to look at an ASCII file.
If you are using the registered version, and have
installed a word processing program (e.g., WordPerfect)
as your external editor/viewer, then pressing V calls
that program and passes the name of the file to view.

2-5 M Maintenance functions. This function provides a variety
of support operations (adding records, rebuilding indexes,
creating new databases, deleting databases, Shell to DOS,
etc). The number of options displayed depends on the
user's security level.

0-5 D Database selection. Once you have created a second
database, this function allows you to move between
database files.

0-5 I Information on BIBL/NET. Pressing I on the Main Menu causes
the file BIBLNET.HLP to display in a window on your screen.
To create your own help file, make an ASCII file and name
it BIBLNET.HLP. You do not have to worry about page breaks
or other formatting.

0-5 Q Quit to DOS. Closes all files, halts program and exits.

DATABASES

BIBL/NET can manage up to 400 distinct databases. While the
structure of each database is the same, you may have
several--enabling you to separate out records that belong
together. Each 'database' consists of two files (*.DAT and *.IX).
You create empty databases from the Maintenance sub-menu. Once
created, you may select (or activate) a particular database via
the Database Selection option on the main menu.

SEARCHING THE DATABASE

To search, press S at the main menu, then via the light bar
select which field you wish to search (Author, Title, Subject,
etc.). Once you have selected the field you wish to
search, a 'QUERY' box will appear. Enter the text you wish
to locate in this box, at the 'Query >>' prompt.

You may search text in ANY field of a BIBL/NET record. Matches are
made using your input as a stem; that is, if you enter SMI and
SMITH exists, you'll get a match (it's called implied truncation).

Note that while retrieval on indexed fields is very fast, searching
non-indexed fields (e.g., line 3 of the note field) is much slower.
On non-indexed fields, BIBL/NET must read each record, comparing your
query with the contents of the field. You may abort a non-indexed
search by pressing any key to interrupt. On indexed field searches,
if BIBL/NET can not find a match for your query, it will display
several index entries that come before and after where your
query would have fallen in the index. As your database grows, this
becomes more useful.

If you want to abandon searching after you have selected a particular
field to search, press RETURN instead of entering a search statement
at the 'Query >>' prompt. You will be returned to the main menu.


BOOLEAN SEARCHING (AND / OR / NOT)

Use BOOLEAN search to search for up to 4 terms in a record. You
may search either the full record or limit the search to the
descriptor field. BOOLEAN searching does not use an index, so
retrieval time is a bit longer. When the full record is searched,
a high speed search algorithm (Boyer-Moore) is employed--this yields
a significant performance improvement over searching just the
Descriptor field--where BIBL/NET uses a more traditional approach
(reading each record and comparing the field to your input).

You may select either BIX format (for subsequent transfer to another
database) or plain ASCII (no labels, formatted like QUERY.TXT entries).
You give BIBL/NET a name for the output file and based on your
format choice, the extension (BIX or TXT) is automatically
appended.

EDITING/DELETING RECORDS IN THE DATABASE

You may enter EDIT mode either via a search or by the LIST function
(press E when the desired record displays. You may well find editing
via LIST more efficient (since BIBL/NET does not return you to the
search menu after a change is made).

As you first enter EDIT mode, the author's name field will be
highlighted. Make any changes you desire, using the cursor arrow
keys to move between fields. When you have finished making changes,
press ESC (or RETURN if line 7 of the note field is highlighted).
You will receive an 'OK to file (y/n)?' prompt. Respond with:

Y - The index will be updated if editing changed an indexed field.
N - Changes will be discarded. The original record redisplays.

You may also enter EDIT mode via the 'List records in the
database' option from the main menu. The only difference between
editing from this menu choice instead of SEARCH is that BIBL will
display all records in the database, beginning with the last
record. With the 'Jump' command, you may find this method of
editing superior to that offered during a search--you don't exit
the loop after performing an edit.


MAINTENANCE MENU

The MAINTENANCE menu appears with level 2 or greater security.
It offers several options (the specific ones offered are
determined dynamically based on a user's security level):

- Add Records to the Database (level 2 or greater)
- Rebuild Index for active database (level 5 only)
- Shell to DOS (level 2 or greater)
- Make a new database (level 4 or greater)
- Delete a database (level 4 or greater
- Import a BIX (ASCII) file (level 4 or greater)
- Global Find / Replace (level 4 or greater)
- Network Information (level 2 or greater)
- Change User Password/Export Directory (level 2 or greater)
- Zap (delete) a BIX file (level 3 or greater)
- Quit to Main Menu
ADDING RECORDS TO A DATABASE

Each database is limited to 2 billion records although you'll run
out of disk space long before that becomes an issue. To begin
working toward that 2 billion, press A as the main menu displays.
A blank record appears on the screen. Enter data in the
highlighted fields. If you want to skip a field, just press
RETURN when the cursor is inside that field's highlighted box.

When you are finished, either press return when the highlighted
box is in line 10 of the note field, or press ESC.
BIBL/NET will then offer a prompt line at the bottom of the screen,
asking to file the record, continue editing, verify keywords or
abandon it. You may click the appropriate response with your mouse
or enter the highlighted first letter of the option you desire
(e.g., A to Abandon).

You may verify that the descriptors you're using for a new record
conform to those already in your database. Just hold the ALT key
down and press V. BIBL/NET will check the terms in the field
against the database, putting a check mark by each that is found.


BIBL/NET INDEXING

Four indexes are maintained in the single file: 1) the first 15 characters of the
author field, 15 characters of the TITLE field, each word (something with a space
before and after it) of the DESCRIPTOR field (must be more than a single
character), and a fifth index for author/title sorting. By putting all five indexes
in a single file, performance is improved over systems that put each index in its
own file--DOS does not allocate a large number of file handles for BIBL's use.

Information is stored in upper case in the index file and your query is converted
to upper case before a search begins--thus you don't have to worry about
capitalization (although the way you enter data is the way it will display and
appear in any ASCII file created by BIBL/NET).

Note: If your database is large (5000 records or more) and your network is under a heavy load,
you can dramatically improve reindexing times by moving your database to a local workstation
and reindexing it under a copy of BIBLNET.EXE running on the local workstation. You'll need
to move BIBLSEC.DAT and BIBLSEC.IX to that local workstation and have IPX and NETX
loaded for BIBLNET to run. When finished, copy the *.DAT and *.IX files back to your server.

FIELDS (Subject vs Keyword) Most fields are obvious, but you
might not be familiar with the distinction we're making between
subject and keywords. Put the most important term in the
subject field and other less useful but desired descriptive terms
in the Keys: field.

EVERY word (anything between spaces) in the keyword field
is individually indexed.

Caution: No term in the keyword field can be longer than 20
characters (or it will be truncated to 20 characters in the
index). The indexing algorithm considers a word to be anything
between two blank spaces. If you have a compound term, include a
'-' between the words so they'll be considered a single term
(e.g., 'World-War-II' is considered 1 term while 'World War II'
is three.). Up to 9 words in any one KEYS field will be indexed.
A single letter WILL NOT be indexed. Each 'word' must be longer
than one character.

LOCATION: You may use the location field for either a
classification number (if your organization system is
that evolved) or simply where you have stored the
physical item referenced in the BIBL/NET record.

REBUILDING INDEXES

BIBL/NET includes an index rebuild function to create new indexes
for the database file on demand. You may never need this function
but if you must run the BNETRX program to repair damage to a
database or experience some other sort of hardware (disk) failure,
the index can become invalid or corrupted. If your database
becomes completely corrupted, use BNETRX to rebuild and repair it.

Rebuilding indexes will correct any problems of this sort. When
rebuilding the indexes, BIBL provides a graph which shows the
status of the effort (0%-100% complete for each index). If you
have fewer than 50 records, the blocks in the graph represent
each record.

SHELL TO DOS

BIBL allows you to drop out of the program momentarily and return
to your DOS prompt. This option allows you to delete files, use
a program like LIST to view a file, check disk space, or do other
DOS-type things. BIBL provides a special prompt to remind you to
enter EXIT to return to the program.

When you type EXIT, BIBL will reactivate and check to see that
the operating system is still defaulting to the sub-directory
where your BIBL files are kept. If not, BIBL will change to
that drive and directory before continuing. If BIBL is unable to
change to the original sub-directory, you will receive a message
to that effect...so you can manually issue the command (e.g.,
CD\BIBL ) from the DOS prompt.

MAKE A NEW DATABASE.

To create a new, empty database, press M on the maintenance menu,
then enter a name for the database file. You may enter up to 8
letters for your database name. You should try to give the file
a name that will later give some indication of the file's
contents.

TIP: When creating databases, give your most popular file a
name that sorts first. The Database Selection option on
the main menu sorts the various *.DAT files before
displaying them. The first file in the list will be
highlighted when the list displays. If it is the file
you want, just press RETURN (or ESC). Note that you can
also specify a database on the command line when
activating BIBL from the DOS prompt (e.g., BIBL Myfile).


DELETE A DATABASE.


You may use this function to delete a database and it's
associated index file. You may also delete a database and index
by simple using the DOS delete command while at the DOS prompt.
BIBL dynamically determines your databases by scanning the
directory where BIBL.EXE resides for files ending with the *.DAT
extension. You may NOT DELETE the database you are currently using.

IMPORT a BIX (ASCII) FILE

Using the ASCII import option enables you to read any labelled
ASCII file into the currently active BIBL database. The file
separated with **'s and each line is labelled. The labelled
option under the Export Menu creates this format as does the
Transfer option when displaying an individual record.
If you want to experiment with ASCII import (say you're trying to
import an ASCII file from some other source--like bibliographic
data downloaded from a CD-ROM), you should follow these steps:

1. Use MAKE A NEW DATABASE option on maintenance menu to create a
database called something like TEST

2. Use DATABASE SELECTION on the main menu to select the TEST
database.

3. Run ASCII import from the maintenance menu. You BIX file must
be in the same subdirectory where BIBL.EXE resides.

4. After reviewing the results (the records added to TEST),
select the database you want to use and run ASCII import
again. When finished, you can delete TEST.DAT and TEST.IX
via Delete a Database (on the maintenance submenu).


GLOBAL FIND/REPLACE

Global changes ('find & replace') affect any record across
your database.

To make a global find and replacement, select the field you want
to modify (the database will be the currently active file--the
database that displays on the status bar at the bottom of your
screen). After selecting the field to modify, you must next
enter the original text (what's currently in the record(s)) and
then the new text. In both situations (the finding and the
replacing) the case of the text you enter is significant and your
'find' input must match the database EXACTLY.

Be advised that the substitution you instruct BIBL to make
will occur anywhere BIBL finds a match for your 'change'
text. Without a bit of thought on your part, this can quickly
become a nightmare. If you elect to change a short word--one
that also appears as part of a larger word in the same field--you
can have problems. For example, asking BIBL to change NETWORK
to LAN can (if you also have NETWORKING in the same field) lead
rather quickly to LANING...

You are not limited to whole word changes (if the text you enter
happens to match a few letters inside another word in that field,
it will be changed. Again, think your change through before you
begin.

It is possible that the length of your replacement term(s) will
force the truncation of the field. For example, if your
descriptor field has 60 characters and you change one 5 letter
word to a 15 letter word, the field would now be 75 characters
long...so the last 5 characters of your field after the 5 letter
word becomes a 15 letter one will be chopped off.

NETWORK INFORMATION

Selecting N on the Maintenance menu brings up a screen of
information about your network. BIBL/NET will attempt to
tell you:

the interface card in the server
version of NETWARE in use
maximum number of connections supported
number of connections in use
whether CAPTURE is active or not
current broadcast (messages) status
free RAM in the workstation

and so on.


CHANGE USER PASSWORD / EXPORT DIRECTORY

This option allows the user to change his password and the
path (drive and subdirectory) where BIBL points the file
viewer, writes export files, and transferred or saved records.
BIBL/NET will place the '\' at the end of the path name
if it is not added by the user. If the export field is
blanked out, BIBL/NET will not allow export.

EXPORT MENU


While BIBL/NET offers only limited print support, it will dump your
database to disk in an ASCII file--which you can then edit and
print using your favorite word processor.

Blank fields do not appear in the ASCII files BIBL creates.
(the exception being DELIMITED format).

You may select Author, Title, Subject, Delimited or the order
records appear in the database. Note that each time you call the
dump to disk routine it overwrites any previously created file.
Here is a list of the files created via the Export function.
Where you are given the option of naming the file, you should use
a *.TXT extension when possible. This will allow you to see all
available export files under the VIEW function when you accept
the default *.TXT mask.

BIBL/NET writes export files to the user's Export Directory
(typically one on their local machine).

BIBL can create ASCII files (full, annotated or brief form) for
all records that contain your search string.

Annotated form will produce a listing with author, title,
publisher and the notes fields. Brief includes only the author,
title, and publisher field. Below, a sample 'annotated' reference
appears:

Bratley, Paul and Choueka, Yaacov
Processing Truncated Terms in Document Retrieval Systems.
Information Processing and Management v18 n5 p257-66 1982

Presents uniform and efficient approach for processing all
truncated query terms in information retrieval which requires one
disk access to obtain from the permuted dictionary all strings
represented by truncated term. The problem of the overhead
storage required to implement the permuted dictionary is
discussed. Fifteen references.

You assign the name for the bibliography output file. If the name
is already in use, BIBL asks you to use another name. Note that using
the Word Processing [WP] format option will produce a citation
where fields follow one another on a line. A hard return follows
the PUBL field.

Bratley, Paul and Choueka, Yaacov. Processing Truncated
Terms in Document Retrieval Systems. Information Processing and
Management. v18 n5 p257-66. 1982.

'Smart' Punctuation [WP format]

As BIBL creates your bibliography, it will check to see
if each field ends with punctuation. If so, the existing
punctuation will be written to your file. If not, BIBL
will add periods after each field. This saves you having to
use end-of-field punctuation in your BIBL database entry.

DELIMITED FORMAT

Delimited format is used when you want to move your BIBL database
to dBASE or some other database system (why?). The next few
paragraphs point out a few things you should be aware of:

Note that in delimited format BIBL will change any quotation mark
that appears in the Title, Descriptor, or Note fields to a single
quote--to preserve the exported data's integrity. If any double
quotes were to appear in the exported data (that is, anywhere
other than between the fields), the importing program might
not process the data correctly.

For example, if you have: Jones is author of the article, "This
is My Life's Work." in your note field, under delimited format,
BIBL will export: "Jones is author of the article, 'This is My
Life's Work.'"

A CR/LF appears at the end of each record. dBASE will accept this
for input if you first set up a dBASE file with the proper
structure. Use the field lengths as they appear at the end of
this documentation. With the database structure created, activate
dBASE and issue the following command:

. USE MYBOOKS
. APPEND FROM BIBLDLM.TXT DELIM

LIST SUBJECTS/LIST DESCRIPTORS (Keywords)

You should use these export functions periodically to check the
uniformity of your subject headings and descriptor fields. For
example, if your list shows you have 10 items under computer and
1 under computers, you should edit the COMPUTERS entry (changing
it to COMPUTER). As an aid in helping you identify the records, a
bit of the title is included with each entry.

Note that there is an entry in the list for each heading in a
record (if you have 10 records with the subject BASEBALL, you'll
get 10 entries for BASEBALL in the SUBRIEF.TXT file).

KEYWORD.TXT - this option lists all terms used in the descriptor
field of your database. With each term, the number of times it
appears is also listed. This list can be a big help in
eliminating redundant terms and consolidating similar terms to
yield a stronger database.

Send To Disk. Beyond creating large reports, during any search
you may elect to send a copy of a single record to an
ASCII file (QUERY.TXT). Each time you press 'S' a copy is
appended to this file. When you are finished with the file,
delete it (via DOS) or rename it. Then when you next send a
record to disk, BIBL will create a new copy of QUERY.TXT.

If running BIBL/NET under Windows 3.1, the SAVE option becomes
the CLIP option. Pressing C when an individual record displays
will move the author, title, publisher and note field to the
Windows Clipboard.

Transfer: Any time an individual record is displayed, you have
the option of copying it to a transfer file (TRANSFER.BIX).
Pressing T (or clicking on the word 'Transfer' will add the
record to TRANSFER.BIX.

To move the records in TRANSFER.BIX use ASCII import on the
maintenance menu. Be sure to delete any existing TRANSFER.BIX
file if you want to make a file of new records...if TRANSFER.BIX
exists on your disk, transferred records will be appended to
it. If it is missing when 'T' is pressed, BIBL will create

USAGE NOTES / TIPS

A. Here are some of the ways we've heard BIBL is being used:

- as an online index to a personal book collection.
- tracking magazine articles.
- indexing a vertical file (for non-library types, a vertical
file is usually a filing cabinet of clippings, brochures, etc.).
- using BIBL instead of 3x5 cards for research.
- tracking reserve reading materials in a corporate library.
- Managing an office library.

B. Modifying HELP display (INFORMATION on the main menu).

BIBL displays the file BIBLNET.HLP when 'I' is pressed on the Main
Menu. If you want to change the help display file, just rename
any ASCII file to BIBLNET.HLP and BIBL will display it...

Technical Specs:

1. Memory required. BIBL requires a minimum of 435K RAM to
operate. If you have more, then more will be available when you
Shell to DOS.



PASCAL structure for a BIBL/NET record:

bookrec = RECORD
recordstatus : longint; { deleted?}
linkfile : string[30]; {reserved}
value : string[6];
author1 : string[70];
author2 : string[70];
Title1 : string[70];
title2 : STRING[70];
title3 : string[70];
publ : STRING[70];
publ2 : string[70];
class : STRING[40];
subject1 : string[30];
subject2 : STRING[70];
flag1 : char; {user stamp in these 3 char fields}
flag2 : char;
flag3 : char;
createdate : string[7];
note1 : STRING[70];
note2 : STRING[70];
note3 : STRING[70];
note4 : STRING[70];
note5 : STRING[70];
note6 : STRING[70];
note7 : string[70];
note8 : string[70];
note9 : string[70];
note10 : string[70];
end;

Indexes (the following keys are maintained in the *.IX file):

Author first 15 characters of the field (stored upper case)
Title first 15 characters of the field (stored upper case)
Author/Title 14 characters of author+6 characters of title.
Keyword first each word of the field is extracted (a word
being a string of characters separated by a space
or comma).
Location/Author first 22 characters of the location field (stored
upper case) and the first 4 characters of the
author field. Index is used to generate an export
file sorted by location and within location by
author


Keyword Index: Up to 20 characters of each 'word' is indexed. Up to
9 words from any one line are indexed. If you have 10 words on the
line, the tenth is ignored.

IMPORTANT: place a '-' between words you want BIBL/NET to index together.

File extensions used by BIBL/NET

.DAT - a datafile
.IX - the index to a DAT datafile.
.DIA - dialog file used by BIBLNET.EXE to handle locking.
.HLP - Help file (displays when I is pressed on Main Menu)
.SAV - temporary file, used during repair/rebuild (BNETRX).

The *.DAT and *.IX files together form 'a database.' You must
have the same name on both you .DAT and .IX files--usually taken
care of by BIBL but if you rename a database via DOS (for
example, renaming DEMO.DAT to MYFILE.DAT, be sure to rename
DEMO.IX to MYFILE.IX too!).

.TXT - any ASCII file.
.BIX - BIBL Import/Export. A labelled ASCII file. This file uses a
specific format where each field is labelled (e.g., A1:, A2:
for the 2 author fields, T1: T2: T3: for the title fields, and
so on. Each record in the file is separated by '**'. The
ASCII import function on the Maintenance Menu will read a
BIX file and write the information to BIBL records. You
can use this facility for backing up your database or
moving records from one database to another.

Here is a sample record in BIX format:

Note: BIBLNET.EXE has been compressed with PKLITE version 1.15

Databases created by the single user version of BIBL or
the unregistered (SHAREWARE) version of BIBL/NET are
fully compatible with the registered version of BIBL/NET.

If you want to move a database from a single-user version
of BIBL to a BIBLNET database, follow this procedure:

1. Create a BIX file of the database using the single
user version of BIBL. Copy the resulting BIX file
to your private BIBL/NET directory.
2. Activate BIBLNET and create a new empty database.
3. Select ASCII Import under Maintenance and import the
BIX file created in step 1.

You can not simply move a database created under the
single-user version of BIBL to your server. The single
user version of BIBL maintains 4 indexes in the *.IX
file...the network version maintains 5. If you move
a single-user database and run it under BIBLNET, you
will not have access to the LOCATION index.

Security file used by unregistered version (BIBLSEC.DAT
and BIBLSEC.IX) is the same used by the registered
version of BIBL/NET. Upgrading from shareware to
registered is a quick, and painless process. Basically,
you just replace the BIBLNET.EXE file with its
registered counterpart.

You must have the IPX and NETX drivers loaded to run BIBL/NET

Notes:


Appendix A.

A BIBL record defaults to the following field labels (not all the note
field is shown for brevity sake):

Auth:
:
Title:
:
:
Publ:
:
Locn: Date:
Subj: Value:
Desc:
Note:
:

It is possible to modify these labels on the record display screen,
the data entry screen and the edit screen. To do so, you must create
an ASCII file similar to the one shown below. In the sample below,
we want to modify the Location field (uses the label Locn: in the
above example) to show Class: (as in classification).

First, with an ASCII editor create a file with the same filename as
the database you want to perform this modification on...but give the
file a DBL extension. For example, say you wanted to modify the
DEMO.DAT database that comes with BIBL, you'd create a file named
DEMO.DBL

Using the convention established with BIX files (where each field is
labelled), you'd enter the following line in the file:

CL=Class:
CLMENU=Call Nmbr

The CL= line governs what label BIBL will use for that field when
displaying a record. The CLMENU= line governs how BIBL/NET will
refer to the field on the SEARCH and EXPORT menu screens.

Limitations: The label text can be no more than 6 characters.
The menu text can not exceed 9 characters.

Any field you do not modify in your *.DBL file will retain the
BIBL/NET default value.


Here's a complete sample file for a database that's being used not
as a book catalog but as a faculty directory:

A1= Name:
A2=Phone:
T1=Membr:
PB= Dept:
P2= Schl:
CL= Rank:
SU=Rsrch:
DE= Desc:
N1= Note:
VL= Cost:
AUMENU=Professor
TIMENU=Membrship
PBMENU=Affiliate
SUMENU=Research
CLMENU=Rank

With these 13 lines (and yes, each entry must occupy a single line and begin in the first position
of the left margin), we change the look of this one database...all other BIBL/NET databases
(unless they too have a corresponding DBL file) will use the BIBL/NET book-oriented defaults.

Any BIBL/NET field label can be modified. Five fields may be renamed throughout the
program: Author, Title, Publisher, Location and Subject.

When you delete a database that has an associated DBL file, BIBL will ask if you want that label
file removed as well. Leaving it causes no problems other than consuming a few hundred bytes
of disk space.

You may use WordPerfect to create a label configuration file but be sure to save the file using
CTRL-F5 (text out).

If you want a database to revert to the original default labels and field names, just delete the
associated *.DBL file for that database.

** IMPORTANT **

The operation of the program is not changed by these modifications.
If, for example, you do as we've shown in the sample above and divide
the author field into 2 fields (one for name and one for phone), BIBL will
still treat them as an entity when producing reports -- which in this case
would concatenate (or join) them. Finally, when assigning values to
AUMENU, TIMENU, CLMENU and SUMENU, be sure that you *DO NOT* have the
same letter beginning more than one values--or use the same first letter
as is used by one of the fields that you can not change (e.g., D for
Descriptor). In several instances during operation, BIBL will accept the
initial letter of the strings you assign as the hot key. If two begin with
the same letter, pressing that letter will always activate the first
term (for example, don't have AUMENU=Editor and SUMENU=Edition -- both
begin with an E).

Appendix B. Value field

BIBL/NET will now track a value for each item in a database.
The value field is limited to 6 spaces (so you can store
between 0 - 999.99 for a given item). Should you have an item
worth more than 999.99 you can omit the decimal and track
values up to 999999. When BIBL computes the total value for
a database, it will treat 999999 as 999999.00. (if you have
items worth more than $ 9999999.00 you should probably be
using a more expensive solution than BIBL/NET...)

The value field label may be changed (using VL= in the *.DBL file).

Value appears only in the BIX file (label VL=) and can be read into
a BIBL/NET record when using ASCII import.

Do not include a $ in your value for an item (e.g., don't enter
$ 5.00 -- use 5.00 instead). BIBL/NET will replace any $'s found
with 0's.

Appendix C. Editing keystrokes supported (use during ADD and/or
EDIT):

If you know WordStar (or use one of the Borland editors), you'll
find most of BIBL's edit commands perform as you'd expect (^ =
Control key):

^F or CTRL -> word right ^S - character left
^A or CTRL <- word left ^D - character right

^T - delete word right ^Y - delete line
^E - up one line ^X - down a line
^H - backspace

If you're using a mouse, you can click on a field to highlight it
for subsequent editing.

REVISION HISTORY of BIBL/NET

4.00 Enhancements:

New index added (Location field). The index is used to
support the USER-SELECTS export option, providing a
means of producing a list of records sorted by the
location field. The index is created using the 1st
22 characters of the location field, with 4 characters
of the author field included. This yields a location
sort, with author's sorted under location (to 4 characters).
This concatenation was done to better supprot users
who do not have a unique value in each record's
location field.

Note that when using a DBL file, you can rename the
location field to something else and then produce
sorted reports on this data.

Fixes:

BIX export now defaults to the active database name
(instead of ALLRECS.BIX). Previously this function
would not accept a new name entered by the user. Now
behaves as you'd expect.

Switching to a private database and then back to a
network database, the bottom status line was not
always being updated.

Location field searching wasn't working. Now fixed.
BIBLNET does not use the location index for searching
this field (since the indexed value only indexes the
first 22 characters and also contains information from
the first 4 characters of the author field).

3.21 Now BIBL/NET offers Windows 3.1 clipboard support.
When running BIBL/NET under windows, the SAVE
option (on LIST and SEARCH) changes to the CLIP
option. Pressing C (or clicking on the word CLIP)
will send the author, title, publisher and note
field of the record displayed to the Windows
clipboard.

3.20 Shaved 11K off the memory required at the workstation
when running BIBL/NET. Few other tweaks to the
package.

3.11 Fixed problem where BIBL/NET was ignoring extension
user requested on various export files. Program was
creating a file without ANY extension.

3.10 Added ability to delete a BIX file from your private
directory (under maintenance)

Fixed problem with add function. Previously, during the
ADD function, if you left the note field, returned to the
record, then returned to the note field before saving the
record, the note you had been entering was lost (note field
was being reinitialized). Now you can go back & forth
between the record & its note as much as you like before
filing the record.

3.02 Further work cleaning up handling of default file names under
export. Fixed problem with list of keywords used...was using
the wrong index (author/title), hence export file contained
garbage (auth/title index is compressed!).

3.01 Fixed problems with default file names.
Fixed inability to create a BIX file under
release 3.0 (yikes!)
Fixed problem with import function.

3.00 New database structure. BIBL 8.0 and BIBL/NET 3.0
now share same structure...databases may be moved
freely between systems (although single-user and
network version of BIBL use a different indexing
algorithm). Rebuild your index when moving a
*.DAT and *.IX file from one version of the
program to another!

Added mouse support to note field editing.

Added ability to move cursor to a specific spot
in a record by clicking twice on the spot...a
big help for making subsequent edits.

Additional RAM freed during Shell to DOS. Will
use XMS memory if available at the workstation.
Previously, BIBL/NET would use EMS if found but
could not manage XMS swapping. Order now is
EMS if available, if not, then XMS, if that's
not found (or not in sufficient supply), the
virtual memory (disk) is used.

Expanded "white space" on data entry / edit
screen. More room between fields...making it
a bit easier to move about (particularly with
a mouse).

New internal file viewer added. This one can look
at files of any size. You probably won't have need
for it, but this viewer also supports HEX viewing
(just press ALT-H). Press F1 for help with commands
when using the built-in viewer.

Up to 1000 matches now possible (previously, the
system would gather up to 800 matches before
display). Due to memory savings realized elsewhere,
we've increased this limit to 1000.

Changed indexing structure and number of indexed
fields...to improve performance and reduce disk
space requirements. Now BIBL/NET maintains 4
indexes instead of 5. Gone is the subject index.
It wasn't used for much, and was taking 30+
bytes per record. Removing it will speed up
redindexing, import, and global changes. While
the index for the subject field has been
removed, you can still search by subject. See
BIBLNET.DOC for complete information on which
fields are indexed.

Improved support for renamed fields on search
screen (popup window where query is entered).

2.82 Reduced stack requirement by a few
thousand bytes...

2.81 Fixed bug with User-Selects option under
Export. If you accepted the USERLIST.TXT
default for your export file name, BIBL/NET
bombed with a run-time error of 3...if
you gave the file a name of your own
choosing, everything was fine. Fixed it.
You can now accept the default name shown
and it will be written to the user's
export directory.

2.80 Added built-in wordprocessor for the note
field. Doing so caused rearranging the
data entry/editing screen. You now have
word-wrap within the note field editor!

Added online help during data entry/editing
process

Bug fix. When editing a record that was part
of a set of matches from a search, saving
the record sometimes took you to a random
spot within the set of matches once the
changed record was filed.


2.73 Fixed bug under Boolean search with dumping
results to disk. ALL records were going to
disk, not just the matches. Yes, technically
speaking the function worked--that is, the
matching records were written to disk--but
the rest of the database wasn't supposed to
go there too!

Also fixed bug with the function that was
writing the file to the server, not the
user's export path.

2.72 minor tweak

2.71 Added ability to limit FULL SEARCH and BOOLEAN
SEARCH to whole-word matches. If you want to
restrict a match to a whole word (text with a
space on either end), then append a /w to your
search term(s).

Expanded possible matches on searches to 800
(from 650).

Changed action key on search menu for Keyword
field from D to a K (reflecting the change in
name from Descriptor to Keyword). Should have
made this change with release 2.55!

Reduced number of records per database from
2 billion to 5 million. This was done to
enable BIBL/NET to store more in-memory keys
during operation--since the btree is smaller
(6 levels deep instead of 8).

2.70 Introduced CLONING during data entry.
If you finish entering a new record and want to copy
it to yet another new record (in instances where you
have two to enter that differ only slightly), you can
press C to Clone the data...then edit the changes in
the new record. This is similar to the "carry forward"
feature in dBASE.

A few other minor changes made to the program.

2.62 Changed name of help info from BIBL.HLP
to BIBLNET.HLP.

"Show close matches" function (activated
when you don't get a match on an indexed
search, reworked. Speed increased and
disk accesses reduced.


2.61 Fixed a few quirks in User-Selects export
option (particularly formats C and E).

BIBL/NET now returns to the path where
BIBLNET.EXE resides before exiting. Before,
if a user was using a PRIVATE database,
BIBL/NET would exit back to the private
directory when the program was terminated.

Verify keys/subject window reworked a bit.

2.60 Now User-Selects export option offers ability
to select the order in which fields will
appear in reports. New option for output
format (tabs between fields and a hard return
after each record).

2.57 Under export, BIBL/NET now correctly limits user
to entering just a file name for the export
file it will create. The Export Path defined
in the User's security record will be added
so that files are directed to that user's
private area (either on the server or their
local disk).

New option added user export--User Defined.
You can now say what fields to include in
a report and sort on one of 3 fields (author,
title or subject). Option C will output
each record on a single line (with a hard
return between records). This should be
very helpful for word processing.

2.56 Message appears as BIBL/NET is filing a record
after an edit. After watching this process on
a huge database (and a very slow network), we
realized a status message would be helpful

2.55 BIBL/NET now rereads record from disk once "edit"
option is selected. This was done to help user
learn quickly whether or not a record was
deleted between the time it was first displayed
and then later selected for editing (pressing E
when record was displayed).

If a given field in a record is empty, the
field label doesn't display. This helps
keep the screen from looking too busy on
records where only a few fields are
used.

If file is locked when you select it from the
DATABASE selection menu, you'll be returned
to the selection menu instead of being dropped
back to the DOS prompt.

You can now change the display label for
DESCRIPTOR field as well. Descriptor is now
called Keywords, the default label is 'Keys:'

Cleaned up support for field relabelling
during global change function. BIBL/NET was
reporting default field names, not the ones
you might reassign. Everything worked fine
but the onscreen information was confusing.

2.54 Added 'Automatic' switch to global find & replace.
After reviewing a couple of changes (to insure that
BIBL/NET is changing what you expected to be changed)
you can press A for AUTOMATIC. The system will
automatically make any remaining changes without
pausing for your review.

SHELL to DOS now frees up more memory.

BIX file creation now goes to USER'S PRIVATE DIRECTORY
under all conditions. You can not write it to the
directory where BIBLNET.EXE resides.

2.53 Several fixes to BIBL/NET operations

When attempting to access a locked file (reindexing
underway, etc), BIBL/NET now returns you to the
database selection menu -- rather than exiting to
DOS with a message about trying later.

Bibliography generation of Labelled format (creation
of a BIX file) will now correctly write to the
user's export directory. Previously, it was writing
this file to the server directory. If the user didn't
have creation rights, BIBL/NET bombed with a
run-time error (#5, File access denied).

2.52 Reworked the way BIBL/NET displays records under
indexed searching (author, title, subject and
or descriptor). Now BIBL/NET collects all matches
and displays them as a set. You can move freely
about the set (by pressing F (forward), B (back)
or J (jump to a particular record). As a result
of this implementation, BIBL/NET is limited to
displaying the first 650 matches for a given
search.

2.51 Fixed incomplete implementation of label changing
via a DBL file. Now search menu and export menu
reflect changes made in a DBL file.

2.50 Improved searching algorithm for non-indexed searches.

Major reworking of PUBLISHER, LOCATION, FULL and
BOOLEAN search function (all non-indexed searches).
Gone are the klunky "End of File Reached" messages
and the blinking 'wait' as BIBL searched...

BIBL now runs through the entire database looking for
matches before showing you any matching records. By
gathering all matches ahead of time, we've cut out the
long delays that often accompanied moving back and
forth between matches--BIBL no longer has to search
for each additional match, but 'knows' where all the
matching records are. If your database has more than
a couple hundred records, you'll immediately
notice the improvement. Changing the search algorithm
also enabled the addition of a JUMP command to these
searches. Once the set of matches has been
collected, you can JUMP from one match to any other,
if desired. Sequential movement through the matches
(Forward & Backward) is still supported.

Another improvement here is the ability to
edit records that are a part of the matching
set...without having BIBL return you to the
search menu once the change has been filed!

The one drawback to this new algorithm is that
BIBL must limit your match set to no more than
600 records. If you conduct a search that
results in more than 600 matches, only the
first 600 will be shown. You'll receive a
"match limit exceeded for this search"
message...which indicates you should narrow
your search.

This limit was imposed to keep from imposing
a serious RAM requirement on users who rely
more on indexed retrieval.

BIBL now requires approximately that 462K of
RAM be free at the DOS prompt when BIBL
loads.

2.44 Registered version only:

If your workstation has at least 320K of EMS memory
available, BIBL/NET will use it for in-memory
storage of index buffers. If you have a large
database (1000+ records), using an EMS equipped
workstation to rebuild the index will show
very dramatic (100-200%) speed improvements.

Registered and SHAREWARE:

Improved handling of mouse. Double clicking on file names
now works as you'd expect.

Improved variety of video supported.

Minor changes throughout the program.

Added memory check during loading of BIBL/NET. If you
don't have 63K of free RAM after the program loads
then BIBL/NET will halt with an appropriate error
message.

If you workstation has EMS memory available, BIBL/NET
will now use it for index storage, leaving more RAM
free to the program.

2.43 Minor internal change to facilitate testing. If you're
attached to a server, but not logged in, you can still
run BIBL/NET on your local harddisk..and enter your
user name. Previously (under 2.30 - 2.42) if you weren't
logged into the net, you could only access the program
in read-only (security level 0) mode.

Improved support for label changes (didn't work exactly
as advertised in 2.42).

2.42 Registered version:

Added ability to change labels for fields in a database.

Registered & Shareware:

Added support for the VALUE field.

2.41 Verify function during add/edit now checks subject
as well as descriptor.

2.40 Rebuild Index function will now purge deleted records
if desired. Remember that if you'll soon be adding
records, there's no need to purge deleted records
(as BIBL/NET will reuse them before adding empty
records to your database).

BIBL/NET status bar display changed a bit. Easier to see
if you're in a private or networked database from the
status bar.

2.30 - BIBL/NET now picks up user name from NETWARE...so you
only see the password screen if your NOVELL login name
is in the BNETSEC database. Simplifies sign-on for
validated users and speeds things up for the
general public (security level 0 users)

Network information screen expanded. Now reports
Capture status and your Netware connection number
along with a general redesign of the screen's layout

Security level 0 users no longer receive unauthorized
function when trying to edit/delete/transfer or
save records. Options are merely inactive.

2.20 - FIX to shareware version. Registered version not affected
2.10 - Major improvement in speed of reindexing.
2.01 - Minor fix in handling of private databases. BIBL/NET
no longer hangs if user logs in and selects a private
database that was stored on a local workstation but
user is accessing system from another workstation
that does not contain the private (export) directory
recorded within the BIBL/NET security table.
2.00 - database structure changed to match single-user version
of BIBL. Note field expanded to 10 lines. New Add/Edit
data entry functions. Numerous tweaks to improve
performance and clean up minor quirks in earlier
releases. Descriptor field now supports 9 terms.
1.05 - fixed bug in index rebuild during a global change.
1.04 - fixed bibliography production so output will go to
user's private directory.
1.03 - changed systemwide status bar. BIBL/NET now reports
whether you're logged into a [P]rivate (personal)
or [N]etwork (public) database.
1.02 - added capability for personal databases for security level
3, 4 or 5 users. Personal databases are stored in the
drive/subdirectory the user points BIBL to via the
User Export Directory variable in the security database.
A few tweaks in other areas of the program. Added
a few more installation instructions.
1.01 - Initial release.
