TACT

TACT (Text Analysis Computing Tools) is a text-analysis and retrieval system for MS-DOS that permits inquiries on text databases in European languages. It has been developed by a team of programmers, designers, and textual scholars. It was begun under the IBM-University of Toronto Cooperative in the Humanities during 1986-89.

TACTweb is software developed by John Bradley and Geoffrey Rockwell. TACTweb connects TACT to the World Wide Web, by using WWW forms users get access to some of the interactive services that TACT provides them — but without requiring them to use TACT itself, or have a copy of your TACT database on their own machine.

There is an interactive workbook that will teach you how to use the TACTweb environment and introduce you to computer assisted text analysis.
