But I *know* we need to do the indexing.
I recommend that we use the Kernighan and Bentley indexing scripts to
do this.  You can find the paper and software at
<http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/netlib/typesetting/indexing.tools.gz>.

Ah, the joys of a pre-built package. :-)
If nobody objects, I think that's the best way to go.

The paper wasn't in the indexing tools archive; there's a gzip'ed
PostScript file at http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/cstr/128.ps.gz
though.

You don't have to enclose anything in quotes, as far as I can tell:
just use    .ix writing macros    and so forth. The CSTR 128 paper
says it doesn't support multi-level index entries, but looking through
the README and so forth, it looks like that might have been added.

Time to start claiming chapters!
