I have managed to get HTDIG installed, started, initial indexing and queries working on AXP VMS 8.2 (unpatched) but now need to finish and can't find the needed advice. How to update the indexes regularly? It looks like running HTDIG.EXE with no options but do I then need to run the merge program(s) or other 'post-dig' routines to integrate the new results? Also where can I find (assuming I need) the 'helper' plugins to index PDF, DOC and other common files? The link in the documentation gives a 404 and an error in German (which I can't read).
Any pointers most welcome
Regards
Paul

I'll check my archives to see if I can find an example.

Re: HTDIG - A couple of post-implementation questions...
I regularily run a DCL procedure in batch including the command:
$ @HTDIG_ROOT:[BIN]RUNDIG -vv -s
The .LOG file is huge, but you can probably get away with just -v or even without -vv at all.

Solutionyou need to schedule a batch job to run HTDIG_ROOT:[BIN]RUNDIG.COM -a , see http://www.htdig.org/running.html and http://www.htdig.org/rundig.html . Be aware that this generates DB files owned by the account running the batch job, which may be unaccessible by HTSEARCH, so a subsequent SET SECURITY must possibly be used.
ht://Dig only indexes text and HTML, so everything else needs to be cnverted to one of these formats. Using utilities from XPDF and antidoc I built an extension package to index DOC and PDF files; it is located at http://vms.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/htdig/ . For "other common files" you need to find a converter to text or HTML, and use that in a similar way.
HTH,
Martin

Of course (also corrected on my ht://Dig webpage).

Re: HTDIG - A couple of post-implementation questions...
>>>
The dig follows links such that even docs within the same directory, if not explicitly linked to by some other 'dug' doc won't be indexed.
<<<
The is due to the fact that ht://Dig works strictly by HTTP (you can tell it that some web directory corresponds to some device directory, and it will directly access files, but that is purely a performance optimization).
>>>
I am looking for mechanism by which I can just copy docs into an area (semi-organised by directory) and these become automatically available to web browsers in some sort of presentable way.
<<<
If a directory is accessible to the web server, doesn't have an index document, and the web server is allowed to browse it, any web browser will show a directory listing, and any HTTP-based search engine will index all files there.
