This is rumakeindex', a wrapper for makeindex' which allows one to get properly sorted index when Russian letters are used in index entries. It is part of the T2 package.

You will need:

1. LaTeX setup based on a T2 package.

2. MAKEINDEX utility which does not have problems with 8-bit characters. mkidx32.exe in a emTeX distribution is Ok, as well as makeindex from web2c distribution.

3. SED binary. It is available on any UNIX box. For DOS you can find it at
   
   ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/sed118b.zip
   
   Copy `sed.exe' to a directory contained in %PATH% environment variable.
   
   Under UNIX, the tr' utility is also used. It is emulated via the y' SED command in the DOS scripts.

4. The rumakeindex' script (or batch file rumkidxd.bat' under DOS, or `rumkidxw.bat' under Windows).

If you are using the T2 package and are making indices with russian letters, then run rumakeindex' (or rumkidxd.bat' under DOS, or rumkidxw.bat' under Windows) instead of makeindex' (or `mkidx32.exe' under DOS).

If you are using emTeX under DOS, copy *.sed files to `\emtex\data' directory, and copy *.bat' files to \emtex\bin' directory.

If you are using UNIX, copy the `rumakeindex' shell script to e.g. `/usr/local/bin' directory.

Note: the encoding of generated .ind files is:

koi8-r for `rumakeindex'  (UNIX)
cp866  for `rumkidxd.bat' (MS-DOS)
cp1251 for `rumkidxw.bat' (MS-Windows)

If you need some other encoding, just change the encoding of scripts.
