Ÿ     Prompt Exact Phrase Vs. Multiple Words

Changes we've made to the askSam 5 Electronic Publisher.

Ÿ View the Attached Original Files.

      With askSam 5, you can attach the original files to documents. askSam Viewer lets you see the attached files in their original applications.

Ÿ Sort Search Results by Relevance.

      A new option lets you sort your Search Results by Relevance. In the Search Results Properties dialog, we've added a "Sort by Relevance" option to the Sort dialog. If this option is selected, the document with the most hits will be listed first in your Search Results.

Ÿ 128 Bit Encryption.

      You now have the option of using 128 bit encryption to your databases. 128 bit encryption is more secure, but requires slightly more time to encrypt/decrypt documents.

NOTE:

The Electronic Publisher includes -

A full copy of askSam, the award winning free-form database.

A license to distribute the askSam Viewer. The askSam Viewer is a Read-Only version of askSam. It lets users read, search, and run reports on the askSam files you provide. They can export or copy information from the Viewer into other applications (if you allow these functions). They cannot, however, edit the askSam files that you provide, and they cannot create new askSam files.
