Abstract
The paper seeks to show how technical developments in the
authoring and indexing of CD-ROMs can help alleviate information
overload. It begins by outlining the history of text indexing and
retrieval before detailing current authoring software. The paper
documents a series of projects which began with the Windows help
compiler before upgrading to Microsoft's multimedia viewer publishing
toolkit. The latter has powerful yet easy to use text indexing and
retrieval facilities. The paper concludes by arguing that modern CD-ROMs
provide fast and efficient access to large volumes of textual material
without imposing information overload on their users
