I'll start with my own postiive experiences with IXGen from Frank Stearns Associates (http://home.pacifier.com/~franks/). I recently had to integrate into a four-document library two unindexed FrameMaker 7 documents two additional FM7 documents that had been indexed by another individual. I was able to use IXGen to standardize the entire library's index entries, spelling, capitalization -- and more -- in roughly 25% of the time it would have taken me to to the job using only FrameMaker 7's primitive indexing capability. This dramatic improvement -- not only in the time required by but in the quality of the finished product -- quickly cost-justified the rather steep $249 initial purchase price of IXGen. One somewhat unique aspect of IXGen is that it's firmly tied to a specific computer at installation time. This is not, however, a problem for contractors such as myself: Frank Stearns Assoc. quickly provided me with a limited duration "license extender" that allowed me to use my previously purchased IXGen license on a client-site computer for as long as it took to deliver the project. In summary, my experience corroborated the praise others posted on the Web about IXGen's usefulness. If you're faced with a large indexing chore, and especially if you're obliged to clean up an existing index, IXGen provides an excellent tool for the job.
