Book Indexing for Professionals and Amateurs

Kindex 1.2    A program to index paginated hard copy.  Especially useful to academic authors indexing their own books.
Up to 30,000 entries;  up to 2999 pages in each of 10 vols. Accords with BS1749 & BS 53700
Requirements:
 Dos 4.1 up (KINDEX is a DOS program, but will run under WINDOWS)
VGA Colour
 ANSI.SYS installed in CONFIG.SYS
 
Impecunious professional indexers who cannot afford the fuller but expensive indexing programmes (CINDEX,MACREX) may well find KINDEX a useful substitute.
But KINDEX is primarily for authors who are non-professional indexers.  The author of a specialised work (e.g. an academic) may be better qualified than the average (though not than every) professional indexer to determine the conceptual structure of the index (e.g., the pitfalls into which the non-philosopher could fall in indexing references to `idealism'); on the other hand he or she may be uncertain regarding the syntactic conventions of indexing.  KINDEX aims to follow these conventions (British standards 1749 and 3700) automatically; though they can be overridden.
How to get it:  Download it into an empty directory/folder, unzip it, then type INSTALL in that directory/folder.   This will install KINDEX in a directory/folder called KINDEX.
Run Kindex from the C:\ directory by typing KINDEX.
Instructions for using KINDEX are available by typing KINSTRUX in the C:\ directory, or by typing KINSTRUX from the DOS option within KINDEX.
 Kindex is shareware:  Click here to Download Kindex.zip: 168k.
