Subject: Conference Scheduling Software

On behalf of someone not on this forum: can anyone recommend a software
package for scheduling participants in a conference? UNIX, DOS/PC or Mac
platforms are acceptable. The database should be able to accommodate up
to 5000-6000 names, up to 40 concurrent sessions (modular) and
potentially 400 total sessions. The software should do the normal
thing: find times when designated people can meet at the same time, and
make sure no one is scheduled to be in two places at the same time.

Thanks in advance,

what is the best software for indexing text on the mac? can i merge
together files (separate indices of chapters of a book) to create a
comprehensive index for a book?

Send replies to Mary Massirer, Baylor (MASSIRERM@BAYLOR) Thanks.

Subject: compacting and indexing at the same time a 7 megabytes chronology

A friend of mine has a problem: a chronology, that he wants to index to
be able to find word occorrencies fast He also wants to be able to put
it on 720k floppies, to distribute it for educational purposes.

We thought of creating an index, with references to files and disks;
compacting the index and placing it on the first floppy; when needed one
decomp acts the index, and a request appears for the disk containing the
occurrences s earched; then one inserts the disk, the right file is
decompacted and the relevant text to the search is displayed.
Any ideas or advice?
