Does anyone out there have a way to generate indexs?

When I was using MTS's format system, I could define a pair of
macros.  The first, would make index entries (you gave it the word, it
took the page number from the registers). The second would print the
index (you put this at the end of the file).

Nroff/troff dont seem to have this ability.  It is non trivial to
write a pair of macros, lets say

.In WORD  \" make index entry for word WORD using current page #
          \" print word word here

.Ip       \" print index

The reasion that .In prints the word, is an attempt to keep the
reffrence and the word on the same page.

Any ideas ?
