#
#  This program is designed to assist in the compilation of indexes.
#
#  It takes input from standard input and expects lines that either consist
#  of an integer (taken to be a page number) or text (to be indexed on
#  page of the last page number.
#
#  The idea is to go through the work to be indexed and create a file
#  in which the page number is entered followed by items to be indexed
#  on that page.  Page numbers (which need not be numeric) are prefixed
#  by "=".  For example, the file might consist of
#
#	=1
#	warts
#	moles
#	scratches
#	=2
#	scratches
#	dents
#	bumps
#	=3
#	hickies
#
#  The output of this program for that input is:
#
#	bumps, 2
#	dents, 2
#	hickies, 3
#	moles, 1
#	scratches, 1, 2
#	warts, 1
#
#  Leading blanks are stripped from index items.  Therefore to enter
#  an index item that begins with "=" start with " =" instead.
#
#  This program is unsophisticated.  It contains no provisions for
#  formatting index entries nor any way to indicated inclusive page
#  ranges.  Such things have to be done in post-processing.
#
#  non-numeric page "numbers" appear before numeric ones.
#
#  Obviously, there is room for improvement, embellishment, and creeping
#  featurism.
