I have a macro that I use to print the first occurrences of terms in
small caps, and also to make them glossary entries, which LaTeX writes
in a .glo file.  I mostly use this simply for checking against the
text, to see if all terms are defined, etc., but it occurs to me I
might actually want to *do* something with it, like produce a
glossary.  Does anyone have any programs or macros that do *anything*
with the .glo file?  I know there are indexing programs that use the
.idx file--are there similar tools of any sort for the .glo file?
(No, I don't know exactly what I want to do with it yet--I'm just
interested in the uses others have found for glossary entries.)
