- Does anyone know of any software that can run on Sun workstations (3, 4)
- running SunOS that provide indexing capabilites? In particular, I'm interested
- in finding out about any existig automated mechanisms for creating reasonable
- indices from UNIX manual pages. In the past, I have used UNIX's ptx in
- conjunction with awk and yacc but I've encountered some problems when the
- things that are being indexed exceed a certain length. Please email.

- Thanks
