We  use  nroff  with our own customized macros to construct and format a
permuted index -- similar to that appearing in  standard  UNIX  manuals.
Essentially,  we  create  the  index  from  words  appearing  in section
headings,  sub-section  headings,  etc.   This  works  nicely  from  the
production point of view, but the index is not as comprehensive, usable,
or attractive as it should be.

I'm  looking  for  an  approach  (public  domain or otherwise) that will
enable us to produce a more  traditional-looking  and  effective  index.
For  now  we  have  to live within the restrictions of nroff and family.
Any ideas or leads out there?  Thanks in advance.
