Trouble is, no one really knows, although I think that Piet van Oostrum 
mentioned he had it running. It most certainly is not easy to get it to 
run. If you do have access to another computer that is supported, that 
is probably easier (by far). Any reason not to use the old, but already 
installed, makeindex?
