DWB 2.0 contains a utility, ptx(1), for creating permuted indices
(AT&T's term for what others call KWIC (keyword in context) indices).
ptx is described in the DWB 2.0 manual pages. A familiar example is
the permuted index for a UNIX reference manual.

ptx(1) was part of UNIX before the text-processing tools were
unbundled.

ndx(1) creates subject-page indices; subj(1) generates a list of
a document's subjects.
