+
+We are experimenting with a package
+<A HREF="robustindex.sty">robustindex.sty</A>
+that tries to remedy two problems.
+<DL>
+<DD><H2>Page numbers changed by third party without rerunning makeindex</H2>
+Amazingly often a third party changes the page numbers without rerunning
+makeindex. (Yes, it happened also to my 1993 book.)
+<P>It is much nicer to have an index that adapts itself to all
+changes but the adding/deleting of an \index{entry} command.
+<P>Only after such adding and/or deleting do we want to run makeindex.
+<DD><H2>Index contains no destination for hyperlink</H2>
+The theindex environment lacks a destination for hyperlinks.
+That is a nuisance when one wants to add the index to
+the bookmarks or to the table of contents in a pdf file.
+</DL>
+
+We have packages <A HREF="robustindex.sty">robustindex.sty</A> and
+ <A HREF="robustglossary.sty">robustglossary.sty</A>. They are used in
+ the sample file <A HREF="robustsample.tex">robustsample.tex</A>.
+<P>After
+<DL>
+<DD>pdflatex <A HREF="robustsample.tex">robustsample.tex</A>
+<DD>pdflatex robustsample.tex
+<DD>makeindex robustsample
+<DD>pdflatex robustsample.tex
+<DD>pdflatex robustsample.tex
+</DL>
+you should have something like <A HREF="robustsample.pdf">this PDF file</A>.
