Yes, I have written the sort of index-generation program I think
you are requesting.  Since it was written for a customer who paid
for it, though, I would have to secure his approval before being
able to release it.  I am sending you (via a separate, personally-
addressed message) the initial comments block from the source code,
just to give you some idea of what it's like, and so that you
can decide if it's the sort of thing you're looking for.

If anyone else is interested, please send me a note, and I'll give
you a description of the program.  My customer is involved in a
small publishing operation, and could probably be talked into
distributing the code.
