PURPOSE
-------
NetXtract improves net-based research productivity. Integrated seamlessly 
into Microsoft Internet Explorer for Windows, this 30 trial version of netXtract 
is based on an innovative concept: a browser should do more for you than simply 
displaying information in a page or document. We believe that the browser should 
help you: 1)  find and evaluate the relevance of information within the page or 
document, and 2) extract, store and retrieve that information for future use.

netXtract combines "on-the-fly" page/document indexing and context-linking, with a 
flexible, local knowledge manager and database. Users can quickly and easily 
categorize, store and retrieve the most relevant information for their personal 
requirements, or to share with others. 

netXtract works in the following way:
-netXtract indexes each page/document you view so that you can quickly find, in the 
document, the word(s) for which you are looking. A list of all words is shown
in a bar on the left side of IE.
-from a word you select, netXtract extracts all contexts of that word so
that you can identify the particular context that is most relevant to your interests.
-from a context you select, netXtract will scroll within the document in IE and
hightlight that selected context.
-you can select any piece of the document currently displayed in IE and
save it into netXtract's local Knowledge Base. The Knowledgebase can then exploited 
in several ways, including going back to the original document, classifying the 
information in various ways, executing searches, distributing extractions via email, etc.
