Retrievive index definations

[Ken Cole]

Stanley,

The definition is in the header of the index.

Under Unix we use standard file manipulation tools to extract and store
that detail fir the exact reason you suggest.

Under Windows you could probably use GNU tools or maybe PowerShell to do
the same.

The header is different depending on how the indexes were created/which
version of FP used to create them.

The index header info used to be on the FPTech web site.
