## by Fabrizio Pivari

#### version 3.3 1997/12/12

IndexMaker is a simple script PERL to make an index.html file from PDF files, HTML files, VRML files and other files. It should work with PERL 4 and 5.
It uses the /Author field and the first /Title field in every matched PDF files, the <TITLE> </TITLE> field in every matched HTML files and the name of the file in the others.

- Special Characters: & -> &amp, > -> &gt, < -> &lt Thanks to Gale Andrew

What's new with version 2.0:

- New input files format: HTML, OTHER

- If HTML and PDF files haven't a description the program uses the file name
- Bugfixes by Bertrand Decouty:
  I believe you have missed the ';' at the end of html characters name (& should be &amp;)
  you do not deal with multiple same letters in one string (add g to end of s/x/&xyz/)
