Does anyone have an index generation macro package or preprocessor for troff? Ideally, it would be able to work over multiple files, and would generate an index giving the word and pages on which it was located. Many thanx in advance!!! Jim Kempf hplabs!kempf

Since it was written for a customer who paid for it, though, I would have to secure his approval before being able to release it. I am sending you (via a separate, personally- addressed message) the initial comments block from the source code, just to give you some idea of what it's like, and so that you can decide if it's the sort of thing you're looking for. If anyone else is interested, please send me a note, and I'll give you a description of the program. My customer is involved in a small publishing operation, and could probably be talked into distributing the code. -- Gary S. Trujillo ...!{harvard,seismo,ihnp4,talcott,wjh12,decvax}!bbnccv!ewj01!gst
