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.
