Now, this is where we start to chop up the database.  What’s up with the author field?  Both the last name and first name on one line – why isn’t the name chopped into a first and last name?  Well, our author index … an additional index … will, by my design, be a phrase index.  That’s the only way the author will appear in our index:  Lastname, Firstname.

“101” is the record number (much smaller than the record numbers that you’ll see in DIALOG).  “AU” is the field.  “1” is the first phrase.

For another example “psychohistorical” is also in the 101st record, it’s in the title field of record 101 and it’s the 6th word.

And the saga continues …
