The following explanations are of importance if you intend to analyze the 
data supplied on this disk by means of the menu-oriented full-text 
processing component which is provided within the DBMS "kleio". 
Prerequisites of interactive full-text processing as described here are 
an existent data base named "eraclius" and a repertory called "reperac" 
(the latter having been created by the corresponding command in the file 
"eraclius.rep", which can also be found on this disk): 


1. Whenever the interactive modules of "kleio" are activated by the 
   command "inspectio", a standard specification for the display as well as
   the search context (i.e. for the extent of the passages within which 
   words searched for are displayed and combinations of words are searched 
   for) is automatically assumed by the system. At best, this standard 
   specification allows for twenty words, one sentence, one element or one 
   multiple entry --- with only the smallest of these units being actually 
   considered in individual cases. For many studies into the texts of the 
   HGR, Series C, vols. 1--17 a display and search context of this extent 
   will be insufficient. Changing the standard specification manually in a
   menu-oriented interactive procedure, however, would prove most 
   time-consuming: under certain circumstances, the user might have to 
   enter up to 46 characters, each of which would have to be confirmed by 
   pressing "Enter"/"Return". In order to curtail this process, a file 
   named "eraclius.kon" is supplied on this disk. Within the program 
   "kleio" (N.B. not at the level of the operating system) "eraclius.kon" 
   can function as a batch file. (The actual contents of the file is given 
   towards the end of this text.) As soon as the program has been called
   using the command "kleio", the system can be ordered to read from 
   "eraclius.kon" by means of the command 

                       optiones fons="eraclius.kon"

   After "Enter"/"Return" has been pressed twice(!), the sequence
    
          optiones [...] forma=sic;modus=conversatio;forma=non   

   contained in the file causes the system to execute the following 
   commands in batch mode, although they are usually designed for dialogue
   mode purposes. What comes next in the file are commands calling the
   menus for full-text processing ("insp") and naming the data base 
   ("eraclius") as well as the repertory ("reperac") to be processed. 
   Furthermore, the display and search contexts are extended to fifty 
   words, five sentences, five elements or five multiple entries (before/
   after the last form searched for) respectively. Of course, you can 
   change these specifications according to your demands. For this purpose, 
   you just have to replace the numerical values in the file by those you 
   wish. (You should make changes of this kind in a copy of the file, 
   however, leaving the original version on the disk unchanged, in order 
   to be able to fall back on it, if need be.) Never use the "forma=" 
   parameter together with the "optiones" command in any context other 
   than the one which has just been mentioned, since the 'dialogue 
   debugging mode' may lead to endless loops, if applied carelessly!!!
   (By the way, the 'problem' of context specification will be remedied by
   a more general solution in the forthcoming version (4.1.1) of "kleio".)


2. Another default of the program is excluded by the command 
       
                      optiones solum=5;semper=1

   which you will also find in the file "eraclius.kon": in the course of 
   menu-oriented full-text processing, "kleio" usually only provides the
   identification of the respective document when displaying the word 
   searched for. By using the parameter "solum=", however, you can state
   the maximum 'depth' down to which you want the identification of 
   groups to be carried out in the "kleio" hierarchy --- i.e., in the 
   example mentioned above, down to the fifth level within the structure 
   definition. The value assigned to the parameter "semper" stipulates 
   which one of the group levels ranging below that of the document is the
   first to be considered in the identification line. Thus, you are able 
   to avoid receiving the identification of the document "inhalt", which 
   in each text of the HGR, Series C, vols. 1--17 occurs only once anyhow, 
   since it comprises all input data. Instead of this, you are provided 
   with a more sensible identification line consisting of groups 
   subordinate to the document.
