Hi,
Thanks for mentioning that. The installation I used has a copy of sort.exe in the c:\htdig\bin directory. There are references to /usr/bin/sort.exe but I think having it in c:\htdig\bin\sort.exe will suffice.
mv.exe is used by htfuzzy & htsearch and should also be located in the /bin folder along with sh.exe. I use a custom script to handle the index building, so that's why I may have overlooked the importance of mv.exe - I never got any errors for mv.exe not being present.
Thanks,

You didn't mention anything about sort.exe and mv.exe. Don't these also have to be in \bin for htmerge and htfuzzy to work?
