Yes, remeber that the features list is quite old...and I didn't know
about index.sty when I wrote it. My plan is to use index.sty when I
eventually come around to enhance the index support.
I also have plans to support the lindy(sp?) package (equiv. to
makeindex but much better at sorting other languages than english).

| Ubermass), so the sorting problem would be solved.

Thanks.
