About NEVA

NEVA is a searching program, installed on a Microsoft Windows-based Internet server which handles requests, posted by a browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or equivalent, over CGI (Common Gateway Interface). It has been written and is maintained by P. Jakopin who also owns the copyright (c). NEVA is based on EVA, multipurpose text/data editor and handles its data or text files, standard or indexed. Some familiarity with EVA or its predecessor, STEVE, especially the mailing list procedures, is strongly recommended before any serious attempt is made to use NEVA.

Instructions for use

To use an English version of NEVA, download the program itself: NEVA.EXE or NEVA.EX (to be renamed NEVA.EXE after downloading) or NEVA_EN.ZIP file. The latter contains:

INDEX.HTML - this page;
NEVA.EXE - the program itself;
ADRIA.HTML - a reference of a simple file searching on ADRIA.EVA data base;
ADRIA.CFG - configuration file - must be in ASCII or compressed STEVE format;
ADRIA.RSF - the resource file - must be in 16-bit EVA format
ADRIA.EVA - the data base itself, must be in EVA or compressed STEVE format;
ADRIATIC.HTML - a reference of indexed file chain searching - adriatic.001, adriatic.002, adriatic.z01, adriatic.z02 files
ADRIATIC.CFG - configuration file - again in ASCII or compressed STEVE format
ADRIATIC.RSF - configuration file - see ADRIA.RSF
ADRIATIC.001, ADRIATIC.002 - two links of ADRIATIC data chain
ADRIATIC.Z01, ADRIATIC.Z02 - two links with indexes of data in the ADRIATIC chain

To use NEVA on a MS Windows based server, compose the relevant files (equivalents of ADRIA.HTML, ADRIA.CFG, ADRIA.EVA and ADRIA.RSF) to a suitable directory, which must have the "Execute" privilege enabled, and copy the NEVA.EXE file there as well.
For local testing, copy all the mentioned files in a suitable directory on a Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP based PC, and add an EVA file NEVA.EXP. It should contain only one line with the search expression. Resulting file will be placed into the NEVA_OUT.HTML file, which can be viewed locally with the browser, such as MS Internet Explorer. To activate the program locally, move to MS-DOS prompt (Start->Programs->MS DOS), select the proper directory and type:

neva adria local

(or use the name of your data file instead of ADRIA)
