          WHAT IS clX ?
          =============

          If  you write or edit long documents  with numbered paragraphs,
          containing   internal  references,   clX,  the   Clause   Cross
          Referencer can help you.  

          clX will analyse a document, and:

               identify clause or paragraph numbers;

               produce a  report listing references  in the  text to each
               paragraph;

               attempt to identify references to non-existent clauses. 

          This is not the same  as the cross referencing feature  in many
          popular word  processing programs:   they make you  responsible
          for identifying and marking each textual reference.   clX finds
          references  for itself, by analysing the text of your document.

          clX  has  two  main  benefits:    it  will  save  time locating
          references  to paragraphs,  and  it  will reduce  the  risk  of
          professional  error.    clX  is  natural   language  processing
          software  designed   for  the   legal  profession,   engineers,
          consultants and many  others.  

          A sample fragment from a typical clX report is set out below.


                    Clause '16.2.' has 9 references:
               7.9.e.iv.   7.9.e.v       16.3.       16.3.f (2) 
               16.3.f.iv   16.4.         16.5.       16.6.


          In the above fragment,  you are given a list of  clause numbers
          which all contain references  to a clause 16.2.  Clause 16.3(f)
          is  also shown  with a '2'  in parentheses,  indicating that it
          contains  two references  to 16.2.    (Note that  all subclause
          numbers are 'normalised', with dots replacing parentheses.)  

          clX  will produce  an  item like  the  above fragment  for each
          clause which has references.

          clX  reads  documents  in  Microsoft  Word   format,  including
          Microsoft  Word for Windows  documents, (although only as a DOS

          LICENSING
          =========

          You may use  clX for a free 30  day trial period.  During  that
          period, you are advised to carefully  evaluate its capabilities
          against  your particular  drafting style.   If  you continue to
          use clX  after the  30 day  trial period, you  are required  to
          purchase a license.  

          The  license  fee for  clX  is  $US  125.00  per user,  or  its
          equivalent amount in another currency.   This includes shipping
          costs  to anywhere  in  the world.    Licensing details  may be

          With a license you will receive an up to date  copy of clX, and
          also future updates to clX as they appear.  

          The license fee also includes  12 months free maintenance:   if
          you find  something you think is  wrong in  the output produced
          by  clX, we  will examine it  and try  to rectify  the problem.

          IMPORTANT CAUTION
          =================

          You must  evaluate clX carefully  against your drafting  style.
          Because  of  ambiguities  and  irregularities  in  the  English
          language, and  the range of drafting  styles which  may be used
          by  authors, the  extraction  of relevant  data  by clX  is not
          guaranteed to  be complete, or accurate.   We  do not guarantee
          that any particular failing will be rectified.
