The previous version of texindex I sent out has bugs. How they got there is
beyond me, since I made a special effort to test it before I sent it. Either
my test file (which WAS very short) didn't exercise it, or I didn't look
at the output carefully, or I stupidly made a change after I send it.

In any event, THIS version has been tested on the largest .idx file I have
and seems to be okay. I've also cleaned up some miscellaneous stuff.

With great embarrassment,
	Robert Plamondon

New shar file follows:

# This is a shell archive.  Remove anything before this line,
# then unpack it by saving it in a file and typing "sh file".

@.TH TEXINDEX N "9 May 1986"
@.SH NAME
texindex \- Create an index for a LATEX document
@.SH SYNOPSIS
@.B
texindex
file
@.SH DESCRIPTION
@.I LATEX
produces
@.I .idx
files that contain the information that goes into the index.
@.I LATEX
also has a set of macros that are used to format an index. For some reason,
the
@.I .idx
file that
@.I LATEX
produces has no resemblance to the input file that it requires. In addition,
the
@.I .idx
file isn't sorted, doesn't have multiple page numbers per entry line, and
doesn't arrange subentries under the corresponding main entry.
@.PP
@.I Texindex
takes a 
@.I LATEX \|.idx
file and converts it into a format that
@.I LATEX
will
recognize as an index. It puts multiple page numbers on the same line, and
handles subentries properly,
@.I i.e.,
@.PP
	Gnus, 5-6, 25, 111
@.br
	\ \ \ Habits of, 5
@.br
	\ \ \ Smell, 25
@.PP
Output is directed to standard out.
@.PP
@.I Texindex
uses two
@.I awk
script and calls
@.I sort
to sort the index.
@.SH FILES
/usr/new/texindex	main program (a csh script)
@.br
/usr/lib/tex/index.awk	first awk script
@.br
/usr/lib/tex/index1.awk	second awk script
@.br
/tmp/texindex.xx	temporary file
@.SH BUGS
Handles subentries, but not sub-subentries.
@.PP
Should probably put large capitals before the entries for each letter, but
doesn't.
@.SH HISTORY
This is the second release. The first one, dated April 25, 1986, had
some bugs that didn't show up in my (too short) test index.
