SUBJECT: List of your subject headings

A question arose:
Is there a way to print a subject index from Lexifile? I know I can access
it via F4 when imputting data, but would like to have a hard copy of that
index, showing each subject and the number of entries.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

There are two answers.

1. If you want a clean looking list of subject headings, but don't mind
duplicates

In LexWin, click on SEARCH--SELECT ALL RECORDS--BY SUBJECT

Then FILE--SAVE-RECORDS 1- <End>

Use your word processor to edit and print the file you saved.

2. If you want a "deduplicated list" but don't mind if it is all in caps,
and don't mind the long subject headings truncated:

Use the DOS version, and type in

>>>.SAVE .SCAN s=

This will save a copy of the subject index

If you don't have the DOS version, download it and install it to a new
directory. OPEN your existing loc.fil with the command

>>>.OPEN c:\lex\loc.fil (use appropriate path to your database)
