> CAS is pleased to announce that the CAplus database on STN has
> been enhanced with REG1stRY, the new power tool for searching
> substance data beyond the limits of the current database. The
> REG1stRY feature has beenimplemented in the CAplus, HCAplus, and
> ZCAplus files to support direct searching of all non-structural
> data from the REGISTRY file.
>
> Simply specify your substance query terms with any appropriate
> field codes appended and then add the new REG1stRY field code
> /REGISTRY (or /REG). Use parentheses to group several search
> terms and logic operators as needed. REG1stRY will automatically
> search the substance terms in REGISTRY, cross-over the results
> into CAplus, and directly produce bibliographic references
> relevant to your substance-based terms.
>
> You can specify a CA role to qualify the substance-based answers
> by appending it after the /REG. CAplus text terms may be included
> in the same search statement. REG1stRY also supports EXPAND,
> allowing you to browse all REGISTRY fields directly from CAplus to
> assist in query formulation. Just append /REG to your substance
> term/field with the EXPAND command.
>
> You no longer need to start your search in REGISTRY and manually
> cross-file search your results. Now REG1stRY in CAplus does it
> for you automatically and more efficiently.
>
> For more information, enter HELP FIRST in the CAplus file on STN,
> or contact the Help Desk at 1-800-848-6533.
