I agree that they're wrong but I'm about to go off the air for 4 days
in about 10 minutes here so I can't fix them myself. If anyone would

That's still a shell script which is evolving. At my last attempt at

it was getting too annoying to have to hand-code in all those package

You may now go back to whacking on the RELENG_4 branch with the usual
degree of -stable discretion. Good release, guys. Next stop is

I could certainly make a super-set INDEX file with some sort of CD#
field (I'd have to extend or munge the current INDEX format) available
on each of the CDs, sure.

"One should use one as soon as someone writes such a thing" is

There's got to be a more technically correct solution for this

I don't know what you mean by Office97 since there is a whole host
of file formats encompassed in that phrase. If you're asking if
it reads word files, it does. If you're asking if it reads Excel
