I found out that the "Not enough space" message was only produced by
files so large that they exceeded the maximum do
I think there is a confusion here as to the meaning of "pages".
By default, when a large number of documents satisfy the search criteria
what you will get from htsearch is a maximum of ten pages, each page
containing links to ten documents - 100 documents in total.

Recent versions of the catdoc MS Word to text converter come with a program
for converting MS excel files into .CSV

I've been bombarding this list with emails about htmerge 3.1.5 producing
the message "Deleted, invalid:" for pages which were apparently OK.
I still don't know why this happens, but I have found a way of avoiding
it. I was running htdig twice to produce two indexes and then htmerge
just once to

Here is a second attempt to send the path for doc2html.pl.
The error is that the line
$cmdl = "$cmd '$Input' | $ED 's#^$Input#[$Name]#";
should read:
$cmdl = "$cmd '$Input' | $ED 's#^$Input#[$Name]#'";
And the patch is:

I've had a report of a bug in doc2html.pl from Alain Forcioli:

Our web pages are overwhelmingly in English, but we do have academics who
put up pages in other languages and would like them to be searchable. I'm
sure that this is quite common.

Your SGI compilation looks OK to me: there are warnings but no errors that I can see.
I get similar warnings and htdig, etc. work fine for me.
Are you saying that you get no executables built?

How smart is the handling of the local_user_urls: and local_urls:
attributes?
Does htdig recognize that some files may have server-side includes and
always fetch them via http despite these attributes in the config file?
An Apache server will process SSIs in .shtm and .shtml files, plus .htm
and
I have found that if a page contains keywords with just a space in the
contents, like so:
Test
then the page is indexed ok, but no excerpt is shown by htsearch with
Format=Long.
Just changing that to:
Test
clears the problem.
How did I find this, and why does it matter?
Well I'
I'm testing htdig 3.1.4 in preparation to upgrading from version 3.1.2.
It looks good, but a bug I reported to this list months ago is still
there. No one commented on at the time, so I guess it got overlooked.
A match-all search for "the problem", for example, works as expected:
"the" is a ba
I've done a quick investigation of two programs which parse Word
documents, and I thought it might interest others on the htdig list.
The two are Catdoc from http://www.fe.msk.ru/~vitus/catdoc/,

Catdoc is freeware. Wp2html is available for a
