Hints on the Index of Names

The index entries have been compiled from all the single persons, groups and companies which are mentioned on this web site. This is in fact limited to the primary names, i.e. names contained in titles of publications are not involved here. The remaining external links are to be found on the “Externe Links 2” page.
    If an external link has been assigned to at least one of the occurrences, it will be preserved here. All these foreign web sites are displayed in a window of their own; cf. the Technical advice.
    While printed indexes give page numbers as their references, I use short titles of the respective web pages; multiple occurrences are marked by a + sign. The pages may be selected via the site map situated in the right page area, which follows the order of the site map introduced on the starting page but shows the short page titles instead. To go back to the index, click the browser button “Back”. In some cases, more than one related page is combined to one short title; thus, e.g., “Bücher.xxx” is valid for all additional documents belonging to the respective entry of the “Layout > Bücher” page or “Stbrf.FAS-Film” for all FAS-Film pages (arranged inside the Private pages). Of those 174 HTML files of the web site available online in April 2000, only those 38 files have been evaluated that may contain occurrences. Completely omitted were the guest book, the few English pages (as duplicates of the corresponding German ones) and the link compilations (concerning broadcasting and media awards; “Externe Links 2” is considered as an extension to this Index).
    The extent of 205 name entries made a split into three pages useful in order to keep the loading time on slower data connections bearable. The initials can independently from that be selected separately.
    Deciding between the code pages, I prefer the Latin 2 in order to also display the Slavic names, which are not few, in the original look. The only Western European special characters not contained there, è, ò and ï, are nevertheless displayed here correctly. In case of character set problems please contact me immediately.

Automatic creation
The Index of names was created automatically by the tool called PERSREG.EXE, developed by myself. As the creation uses a special list file combining both index entries and search entries, the manual post-editing necessary could be reduced to a minimum. A short description of the tool (in German only) can be found on the Profil page called “Programmierungen”. At that very place, possibly interested users can have a look into the more detailed operating instructions (“Bedienungsanleitung”).
