kbforge.com is pleased to announce the first public release of "kbforge", a new free desktop search application specifically designed for software developers. What differentiates kbforge from other desktop search programs, is its ability to assist the user in categorising the information before it is indexed. Using databases and collections of databases, kbforge is able to categorise information into meaningful subject matters. A host of other features and options make kbforge the ultimate tool for finding that elusive program fragment, or example or article. Its companion product, kbforge.plus, provides additional features, such as indexing inside .ZIP and .JAR files, removal of HTML tags before indexing, etc., and a wide choice of database managers including Postgresql and other relational and non-relational databases. kbforge is a Java application, and possibly the first of its kind to run under Linux as well as Windows, and soon under Mac OS. kbforge v1.20 can be downloaded completely free from http://www.kbforge.com Victor Negrin vnegrin@xxxxxxxxxxx
