Overview
Webinator is a Web walking and indexing package that allows a
Website administrator to easily create and provide a high quality retrieval
interface to collections of HTML documents. Webinator serves as an
example of the type of applications that can be built around Thunderstone's
Texis RDBMS and Web Script.
We believe the Webinator is the finest system of its kind in existence on
the Web and we would like organizations to try it out and see if they
feel the same way.
Pricing and Purchasing
There are four versions of the Webinator available. If you need additional
features or capabilities then the full Texis product is also available which
includes the Webinator application.
