StarIndex: reference aids for word‐processing files

Abstract

StarIndex is an acceptable indexing package for most jobs. It does what it promises and the run time is not outrageous. It is included along with most versions of Wordstar that are currently sold. If it is purchased in this way users will probably not find it worthwhile to invest in an additional indexing package. An easier method for setting up formats and some online help would make StarIndex a much friendlier package. StarIndex is part of a Professional Options package available for use with WordStar word‐processing software. The package also includes a mailing capability called MailMerge and a spelling module called CorrectStar. The package runs on IBM/PC and Apple computers. It sells for $150 from MicroPro International, 33 San Pablo Ave., San Rafael, CA 94903, USA.
