Now, this is
where we start to chop up the database.What’s up with the author field?Both the last name and first name on one line – why isn’t the name
chopped into a first and last name?Well, our author index … an additional index … will, by my design, be
a phrase index.That’s the only way
the author will appear in our index:Lastname, Firstname.
“101” is the
record number (much smaller than the record numbers that you’ll see in
DIALOG).“AU” is the field.“1” is the first phrase.
For another
example “psychohistorical” is also in the 101st record, it’s in
the title field of record 101 and it’s the 5th word.
