The LaTeX file looks good here.

I cannot comment on specifics of pctex6, but,
as a general rule, at a command line, you'll
want to run

  latex multitest
  makeindex authors
  makeindex books
  latex multitest

where "multitest" is the name assumed for
the LaTeX file.

The two indices will be on the last two pages.
