Abstract
The current research examined the need for Amharic
software and found that in general software to handle Amharic
script and in particular, text processing software are
required.
To this end, available text retrieval softwares are
overviewed and compared with Micro CDS/ISIS version 2.3.

CDS/ISIS is found to be the best text retrieval software for
which Amharic version can be developed. Therefore, an Amharic
version of the Micro CDS/ISIS was developed and tested. This
version can perform all functions that the English version
does and can be used for developing information storage and
retrieval systems in Amharic and containing Amharic databases.
The capabilities and limitations of the developed
software are described and suggests lines of future work.
