It has ALWAYS been possible.  SIMIBM.IDX is inside SIMIBM.ARC.  Before
someone says "I don't need all the other files in that ARC", if we
deleted them all it would only save 30K in the size of the ARC.  There
are many people who need those information files and programs to print
the index.  They would complain is the files were NOT included.  It's
not worth getting upset about it for only 30K.
