To create a new application on VMS for the TEXT1 sorted index, you must TANGLE the TEXIX.WEB file (found in the directory TEXIX) with the TEXIX.CH changes file in this directory. Then compile the program with Pascal. You must also compile VMSSORT with Pascal. This is all done for you with the COMPILE_TEXIX.COM procedure. The resulting TEXIX.EXE can be run by saying: $ RUN TEXIX It will ask for index level 1, 2, or 3. Usually "1" is used, which corresponds to the index file TEXT1$$.IX1 which was created by running TEXT1 on your TEX file.
