I have successfully port SWISH-E on OpenVMS.

SWISH-E is a tool for indexing files, there is filter for HTML, XML,
postscript, GIF, and many other formats.

More information can be found on http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/SWISH-E/

My port is integrate in the developement version of swish.
Daily snapshots are at http://sunsite.berkeley.edu:4444/swish-daily/
which
should be getting rather stable -- but considered a development
version since changes are stil being made.


For example i have indexed all the OpenVMS, Rdb,... documentations

A library is build so it is easly to integrate it into an other program.

Mark Daniel, the author of WASD, has buid a CGI program (SWISHESI) to
query a SWISH-E dababase.

You can find a demonstration on http://StarLet.DeltaTel.RU/


My port is currently partial: only local files are indexed, the http
part use a script PERL ans i haven't all the modules.
