This report presents a procedure for compiling a typed index using a DECsystem 10 computer without index cards, with the following objectives: (1) to increase compilation speed of a typed index; (2) to provide a machine-readable version of an index that can be edited rapidly; (3) to provide two forms of an index--one arranged by page number to check terms, and the final product arranged by index terms; and (4) to enable an indexer to make several copies. It explains new programs and procedures that can be used by any indexer with access to DECsystem 10 installation. Use of the SOS text editor to create master files, the SORT Program, and two BASIC language computer programs to compile index terms and arrange them in index format are explained. Some fundamental DECsystem 10 monitor level and SOS commands are described and illustrated with examples. Limitations on the content of master files are covered, and steps for the correction of common input errors are detailed. Annotated copies and flow charts of the BASIC programs are included.
