Strange - I seem to be able run a set of books together with the new RH 7.1 tools and produce 800 pages (five books collected) with more than 1000 index-words - seems to be fine. However the who idea of using flo-* is still "young" - it lacks support for set-indexes (now only ordinary indexes are ok), national language-settings etc. I am hacking on those problems right now. -- Peter Toft, Ph.D. [pto@sslug.dk] http://www.sslug.dk/~pto Linux - Open Source - freedom : that's cool !
