This is *exactly* what I do You can see my set-up at by following the links from: http://www.sonic.net/~snevel/etherbun/index.html Penny already posted the link to my MHonArc pages which describes the resource files and some ancillary perl scripts I developed...

Re: How to create otherindexes
If you haven't already, you might want to look at Simeon ben Nevel's resource pages: http://www.sonic.net/~snevel/mhonarc.html This link is available from the MHonArc main page under "3rd party links". I haven't tried using myself but found his resource files very helpful when setting up my own.

Have you looked in the FAQ? Try http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/MHonArc/doc/faq/indexpgs.html#otherindexes>, or check the copy of the FAQ included in the MHonArc distribution.

Re: How to create otherindexes
If I recall, one thing you can do is to have multiple OTHERINDEXES resources in your main .rc file and refer to a distinct auxiliary .rc file in each one. You get up to two indexes per OTHERINDEXES resource declared (auxiliary .rc file), up to one pseudo-main index and up to one pseudo-thread index. You may also be able to chain them by declaring an OTHERINDEXES resource in your auxiliary .rc file. Fun with Perl! On the other hand, you may be able to meet all needs for a date index with your first MAIN index and all needs for a subject index by your first THREAD index, leaving only the author index to be generated via OTHERINDEXES.

First, you can have as many alternate indexes as you want. For example, author.mrc subject.mrc multippg.mrc threadbysub.mrc Each resource file lists how to generate a *single* index type: main (date/subject/author/mesgnum) or thread. If appears more than once in the main resource file, the additional listings are added together, for example: author.mrc subject.mrc multippg.mrc threadbysub.mrc is equivalent to, author.mrc subject.mrc multippg.mrc threadbysub.mrc > You may also be able to chain them by declaring an > OTHERINDEXES resource in your auxiliary .rc file. Fun with Perl! DO NOT DO THIS. From the documentation: WARNING OTHERINDEXES resource file should NOT define the OTHERINDEXES resource. Unpredictable results may occur, possibly infinite recursion. > On the other hand, you may be able to meet all needs for a date index with > your first MAIN index and all needs for a subject index by your first > THREAD index, leaving only the author index to be generated via OTHERINDEXES.

How to create otherindexes
Hi mhonarc people, I am a newbie and I want to create other indexes beside the main and thread indexes Date, Author, Subject. I try to use the otherindexes but I can only have one of the above either Subject or Author or Date. I cannot have them all. Is it possible that I can have them all and how to ? I have confusion of using the . Thanks in advance. Tam Vuong
