Does anyone know of anything for troff that will allow me to specify the words or phrases I want to index, then generate an alphabetical index consisting of these words and phrases with the pages where they appear in the document? -- David Ferrier | computer: Edmonton, Alberta | a million morons UUCC:alberta!myrias!dbf | working at the speed of light

I have created something called `indexor' in C for introducing index entries and glossary entries in a Scribe .mss file (for all the four Scribe @index, @indexentry, @seealso, @indexsecondary commands) and LaTeX \index command. It can be setup for any program like troff. It was designed for VMS, DOS and UNIX with an ANSI terminal, but I haven't fully tested it out on UNIX. The program itself is a part of my Scribe TEC.mak database package (distributed freely, and very powerful). If you are interested, I will make it available. If I find time to debug it on UNIX (BSD first), I will do it shortly. JB Wang jbw@pittvms.bitnet jbw@unix.cis.pittsburgh.edu

I assembled some klugey stuff for troff -mm (should work under other macro packages, but the index formatting macros produce -mm-like output). Ask and ye shall receive. ++Brandon
