BINARY
The BINARY doctype has been designed for the management of multimedia files (audio/graphics), CAD drawings and non-textual databases.
A "binary" file consists of 2 (two) components, a plain text description and the binary file itself. Looks for a file ,info that contains the text information (eg. for "x.tar" looks for "x.tar,info").
The first sentence in the ,info file is used to construct the "Title" field— as in FIRSTLINE. The Rest of the document is stored under the "Description" field.
The fields Title, Description and the whole document (Any Field) are searchable.
In the Presentation:
The default headline consists of the title and the type of the file in ().
Example:
In the above example the headline is: A Bsn Logo (GIF Image) and the key is logo.gif.
