Abstract

Reviews Gale's Biography and Genealogy Master Index on CD-ROM. It requires an IBM XT, AT, PS/2 or compatible with MS-SOS 3.1 or higher, MS-DOS CD-ROM 2.0, 640 KB RAM and 1 MB disc space. Discusses searching; on screen help and extended searching. Although the CD-ROM has more than 8.8 million citations it does not have adequate speed and convenience because the index has been too literally translated in the software design
