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
