I am trying to create keyword indexes (indices) and have been using the Documentor's Workbench subj and ndx utilites. The results have been very time consuming, mostly incorrect. Can anyone give me suggestions, and/or point me in the direction of helpful documentation on this subject? Thanking the Cosmos in advance, Ego sum Jim Mc Mullen Sequoia's Tech Publican (m2c:seqp4:mcmullen):

DWB 2.0 contains a utility, ptx(1), for creating permuted indices (AT&T's term for what others call KWIC (keyword in context) indices). ptx is described in the DWB 2.0 manual pages. A familiar example is the permuted index for a UNIX reference manual. ptx(1) was part of UNIX before the text-processing tools were unbundled. ndx(1) creates subject-page indices; subj(1) generates a list of a document's subjects. -- Jim Ingram uunet!h-three!jimi | jimi%h-three@uunet.uu.net h-three Systems Corporation P.O.
