Additional Notes
Licensed version includes additional modules for customizing results output, accepting easier input syntax (AND/OR/NOT), ranking hits according to admin-defined formula, caching search results, and logging searches in a format compatible with wusage. See Features for a full list, and Licensing Info for more about license requirements. Or you can just skip to Purchase ;-)
Glimpse 4.17.1 has been reported to compile and run under Windows using the latest Cygwin compiler, but is not recommended for casual Windows users at this time. Would be very interested to hear of anyone's results using Glimpse on Windows!
NOTE: Some browsers may erroneously drop the .gz extension when downloading .tar.gz files. Make sure you name your download with .tar.gz and unpack it appropriately
