In order to make multiple indexes, the LaTeX companion advices us to
use the index package. Everything looks fine and easy, but one thing
How: do you compile your .**x file into a .**d file?
The problem is: Makeindex command included in TeXShop works only
for .idx and .ind
Is there a way out without resorting to command line?
One possibility is to use the old Macintosh application Makeindex
v2.12 which worked well in OS 9 (I still have Classic on my i-mac),
so well that you didn't have to use aliases for French diacritics. I
mean, it used to put éléphant in its correct location in the index,
you only had to type \index{éléphant}, not \index{elephant@éléphant}.
But there is a drawback, you have to convert manually the OS X files
produced by LaTeX in OS 9 files, before running Makeindex v2.12.
So, this is the second question:
Is there a way to convert Makeindex v2.12 into an OS X application
(to carbonize it ?)?
