<Em>Document Processing and Retrieval: TEXPROS</em> focuses on the design and implementation of a personal, customizable office information and document processing system called <em>TEXPROS</em> (a TEXt PROcessing System). <em>TEXPROS</em> is a personal, intelligent office information and document processing system for text-oriented documents. This system supports the storage, classification, categorization, retrieval and reproduction of documents, as well as extracting, browsing, retrieving and synthesizing information from a variety of documents. When using <em>TEXPROS</em> in a multi-user or distributed environment, it requires specific protocols for extracting, storing, transmitting and exchanging information. <br/> The authors have used a variety of techniques to implement <em>TEXPROS</em>, such as Object-Oriented Programming, Tcl/Tk, X-Windows, etc. The system can be used for many different purposes in many different applications, such as digital libraries, software documentation and information delivery. <br/> <em>Audience:</em> Provides in-depth, state-of-the-art coverage of information processing and retrieval, and documentation for such professionals as database specialists, information systems and software developers, and information providers.
