I need help with ptx! I've read the man page (from System V.2 documentation), and it isn't clear how to use it. I'm trying to generate an index that looks like the one in the UNIX V.2 User Manual. Does anyone know EXACTLY how AT&T got the output? How did they get all the references in? Do they have a comprehensive "ignore file" that really excludes all the junk, or did someone have to weed the index by hand? As an aside, how did the words in /usr/lib/eign get chosen? What an odd bunch of words! And another thing - why is an entry in a permuted index sometimes (but not always!) preceded by stuff that is actually AFTER the entry in the text? Thanks in advance! Please mail any and all info to: Anne Chenette ihnp4!cray!anne
