	I have seen a copy of a technical report published by AT&T on 
	creating indexes using troff. The reference is:

                    "Tools for Printing Indexes"
		Jon L. Bentley and Brian W. Kernighan
		       AT&T Bell Laboratories
		    Murray Hill, New Jersey 07974
			  October 1986

	Sorry, but I don't have the technical report number.

	The report contains a few macro definitions and quite a few 
	awk scripts which come in useful for creating indexes.
