Documenting Indexes and Re-Indexing filePro Files

[Bob Stockler]

Some years ago Marc Parns and I collaborated in writing some
programs to document filePro indexes, and to rebuild indexes
based on that documentation.

It was usable only on UNIX (maybe Linux) systems, and depended
on the KornShell, and AWK to read the index headers.

I think you'll still find "docindex.gz" and "bldindex.gz" in
the filePro directory on ftp.jpr.com if you want to look into
this way of documenting and rebuilding filePro indexes.

My later programs of doing this all in filePro have some
advantages - and disadvantages - compared to what was posted
there (I haven't revisited either of them for some time).
