master index of multiple book

[Scott Prentice]

If you'd like an easy way to generate an "uber" book from a number of 
other books, grab our ComboBook plugin ..

    http://leximation.com/tools/info/combobook.php

It's free.

Yes .. you'll notice that it hasn't been updated for some time. If you 
need to install on FM8 or newer, send me an email off list and I'll 
point you at a manual install package.

Cheers,

...scott
