I have been using LaTeX for several years now, I am now using it to write
a book,  I would like to build an index.  

The index documentation is rather sketchy, apparently I need a program called 
idx.pl to compile the index file generated by LaTeX.  

Is this a TeX macro, or an executable.

In either case, where can I find it (MS-DOS and/or Amiga version).

Also what is the syntax for the \index command, especially for subitems?

Thanks,  Roger Nelson
