Here, here!! If you find any let me know! 

Maybe we should start a campaign to convince the major DB vendors that there
is a market for this. It shoul not be difficult to add to an existing system.

There is a new entrant in the full text DB market. Head software in UK.
(Short review in international section of August Byte) They used to market
utilities to work with INMAGIC, now it seems that they are going in to 
competition. Not difficult, INMAGIC is a dog.

Cheers, Russell.
