A steep learning curve with htdig, coming with minimal Unix experieince.

However, one problem I have on which any advice would be valued.

I am indexeing a number of PowerPoint documents, which have been convereted
to html. Their structure is that for each ppt doc, a subdirectory is
created, in which all relevant pages and associated files are dumped. A
small htm script file exists in the root directory, pointing to the first
page of the ppt converted htm in the relevant subdirectory.

So far so good - rundig does its stuff, reads all the htm pages on the top
directory and all subsiduary directories, and creates all the db files (and
signs off with a segmentation fault just to unsettle one), but the search
facility does actually work with one bizarre twist. The correct page
(perhaps page 'n' of the ppt file, not page 1) does return in the search
result list. But clicking on it sees that page flash momentarily onto the
browser window, to be immediately replaced with the first page of the ppt /
htm file. I cannot get the correct page to display, even though the URL
address in the search page is correct.

Any ideas?

thanks,

peter
