  Index Status Update:
  
C  After a break, the tape index is back.  For this tape, I did not
 C  generate a cumulative index, partly because of the missing tapes
 D  (which I may get indexed some day...), and partly because so many
?  large submissions are resubmitted in their entirety that the
 ?  cumulative index requires many disk blocks/printed pages for
   redundant information.
  
H  Due to the trend toward deeper directory trees and longer file names,
E  the index has been changed from 3-column format to 2-columns.  For
 G  this index, the increase in disk space is about 350 blocks; however,
 H  many file names were severly truncated in the 3-column version, so it
  seems worth the extra space.
  
G  The algorithm for generating the keywords had eliminated any digits,
 E  which caused words like LN03 to change to LN, then be dismissed as
 G  noise.  This has now been changed to preserve such words.  I'm still
 H  looking at a few other changes to the keywording which I held back on
)  to get copies of the index out sooner.
  
/  This directory contains the following files:
  
H   o  INDEX.DOC - A brief description of the process used to create the
      indexes.
  
B   o  INDEX88B.LIS - An index of the VAX88B* save sets.  (On some
F      tapes, this file may be replaced by INDEX88B.LZS.) The index is
B      organized by keyword (extracted from text files).  For each
G      keyword, files on the tape containing the keyword are listed.  I
 F      have omitted the leading "[8" from the file names in an attempt
E      to fit more of the longer file names in the two column format.
  
D   o  INDEX88B.LZS - A compressed version of the file INDEX88B.LIS.
9      Use the following DCL commands to expand the file:
  
1              $ LZD = "$dev:[VAX000.INDEX]LZDCM"
 @              $ LZD  -B -X 0 -M 16 -V INDEX88B.LZS INDEX88B.LIS
 
 
D   o  CONDIT.LIS - A list of keywords that were eliminated from the
?      index if they did not appear somewhere in the file name.
  
?   o  NOISE.LIS - A list of keywords that were unconditionally
 !      eliminated from the index.

G  If there are submissions from older tapes that have been superceded,
 F  please drop me a note so that I can remove them from the cumulative
	  index.
