-MG is a freely-available full-text retrieval system that makes efficient use of disk resources by storing the index, and the text that is indexed, in compressed form. The MG system is described in the eponymous book [[http://people.eng.unimelb.edu.au/ammoffat/mg/|Managing Gigabytes]]. To meet the needs of The New Zealand Digital Library and the [[http://ww.greenstone.org|Greenstone]] software we have made a number of improvements to the standard MG distribution. These improvements are being made available as MG-1.3.+MG is a freely-available full-text retrieval system that makes efficient use of disk resources by storing the index, and the text that is indexed, in compressed form.
