Hi,
I've just finished packaging a MSDOS/Windows-Distribution
of the OS/2 version.
It contains the binaries:
- xindy.exe / xindy.mem the main machine of this packet
- emxrsx.zip containing the dpmi extender for using the programs under MSDOS
(many thanks to Rainer Schnither)
- tex2xdy.exe a program for converting makeindex indices to xindy
- mkidx.exe a "quick hacked and dirty" C++ program to implement the main tasks of
the PERL script makeindex4
- xindy.bat a tiny MSDOS procedure as a wrapper for xindy.exe
- makindx4.bat a tiny MSDOS procedure as a wrapper for the tex2xdy/mkidx/xindy-cycle
With these files it should be possible to use xindy in the following environments:
- OS/2 (native mode)
- MSDOS 6.2
- Windows 3.11
- Windows NT 4.0
- Windows 95 (not tested!!!)
- DOS box of OS/2
- DOS box of WinOS2 under OS/2 (if you like to do such weird things ;) )
I think, this package will be available soon at the usual xindy-ftp-site. I can't give
you much support with this stuff, 'cause I'm not using MSDOS/Windows environments. It
should be considered as an interim solution until someone suceeds in porting xindy to
Windows.
CU,
Joerg
