i've yet to see one issue addressed in the discussion of relative merits
between tex and various roff packages.  does tex make any provision for the
generation of a sorted index of terms?  we've managed to provide automatic
indexing under ditroff -- a writer flags a term to be indexed with a special
macro, and it's saved until the end of the document.  all terms are sorted
alphabetically, and the list (with page numbers) is printed separately.  the
actual processing path is convoluted, and involves bourne shell scripts,
stderr redirection, troff postprocessors...  but it works.

is it easier to generate an index in tex?
