For the stuff Ed posted two days ago I found that
(Red Hat Linux 7.1) I have to run the scripts
through dos2unix and (Ed has been very helpful
off-list)

you have to delete the line 49
    -d $STUFFPATH/stylesheets/flo-redhat-html.dsl \

and if you want to do an index for other languages -
for Danish I want to run collateindex.pl with options
-s Symboler  -t Stikordsregister -g -i stikord -N
then I have to hack directly into
flo-indexed-html since I cannot parse those as
arguments

I am no there 100% yet - but it (I hope) seems close
now...
