DB/TextWorks is a content management system—a type of database
software that enables you to build networked and standalone textbases
to manage text, numbers, dates, and electronic images. DB/TextWorks
combines traditional database power, including the ability to manipulate data
and perform arithmetic calculations, with the ability to handle large amounts
of text. When you want to publish your textbase(s)
over the Web, you need to use DB/Text WebPublisher
PRO.
DB/TextWorks also
provides you with access to Inmagic.net™, which gives you the ability to
connect to the Inmagic server from within a DB/TextWorks session to accomplish various tasks related to
cataloging, indexing, and disseminating information throughout an organization.
DB/Text WebPublisher
PRO is a server version of DB/TextWorks that enables you to publish textbases
on the Internet or an intranet, so Web users can search them. WebPublisher PRO accepts queries from
standard Web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, and accepts XML
function calls. The software returns search results in dynamically generated
HTML and XML reports, and allows for editing over the Web. WebPublisher
PRO, which is a separate product to be purchased, is used together with DB/TextWorks, which is the "buildware"
for creating searchable textbases.
This
section lists each new and enhanced feature for DB/TextWorks
and WebPublisher PRO.
For more information on a feature, see the online help, unless otherwise noted.

o Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0 must be installed
before you can install the WebPublisher PRO
software. The installation program
will not proceed if it does not detect that .NET Framework version 2.0 is
already on the machine on which you are trying to install the WebPublisher PRO software.
o Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 must be
installed before you can install the WebPublisher
PRO software. The installation
program will not proceed if it does not detect that Internet Explorer version
6.0 is already on the machine on which you are trying to install the WebPublisher PRO software.
o The install kit now includes an HTML query screen
(CARSQSB.HTM) for use with the sample CARS textbase
that uses the Inmagic Choices Browser.
o For the WebPublisher PRO
virtual directories, dbtw-wpd and InmagicBrowse,
the install kit lets you select a Web site other than Default Web Site, and
permits you to specify which authentication to use (Anonymous, Basic,
Integrated Windows) and whether to use SSL.
o The program files are digitally signed.
