Does anyone know of any software that can run on Sun workstations (3, 4) 
running SunOS that provide indexing capabilites?  In particular, I'm interested
in finding out about any existig automated mechanisms for creating reasonable 
indices from UNIX manual pages.  In the past, I have used UNIX's ptx in
conjunction with awk and yacc but I've encountered some problems when the 
things that are being indexed exceed a certain length.  Please email.

Thanks
