Hi,
Up to now I worked on a UN*X System, where we had several shell, awk and sed
scripts to translate the output of the /index{...} command (the file .idx)
to a theindex environment.
We hav now to move our documentation to a VAX VMS system. We have bought
the TeX/LaTeX environment from ArborText for our VAX. Now we search a
C or FORTRAN or PASCAL program or a DCL script which converts the \indexentry
commands from .idx file to a theindex environment.
Any hints to PD or comercial programs are welcome.
Roland

The *official* program for handling indexes is makeindex by Pehong Chen and Leslie Lamport. The current implementation is in C (there will someday be a WEB implemenation). It may be FTP'd from ymir.claremont.edu in the directory [anonymous.tex.utilities.makeindex] -dh -- Important note: The Anti-Social Committee will not be meeting this week.
