<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="idxtypes">What are all the different index types?</a></b></h3>

<p>MHonArc catagorizes indexes into to types:
<b>main</b> and <b>thread</b>.  <b>Main</b> covers indexes
listing messages by the following criteria:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Author
<li>Date
<li>Subject
<li>Message number
</ul>

<p>When the documentation refers to <b>main</b> index,
it refers to the index listing messages by author, date, or
subject.  Therfore, all resources. and resource variables, that
refer to the main index apply to either an author, date, or
subject index.  The type of main index is controled by
the SORT, SUBSORT, AUTHSORT resources.
</p>

<p>By default, MHonArc creates a date index
and a thread index.
Author index support is available only in v2.0 beta 2 or later.
</p>

<!-- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -->
<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="additional">Can I have additional indexes beyond the default main and thread index?</a></b></h3>

<P>Yes. In version 1.2 (or later), a resource was added called
<strong>OTHERINDEXES</strong>. With this resource, you are able to
define an arbitrary number of indexes you desire. The additional
indexes may be in any format you desire and that is supported
by MHonArc. Refer to the documentation for the usage of
<strong>OTHERINDEXES</strong>.
</P>

<dl>
<dt><strong>NOTE</strong></dt>
<dd><p>MHonArc will <strong>NOT</strong> automatically
create links to any indexes created via the OTHERINDEXES resource.
You will need to modify the relevant index and messages resources
to contain the additional links.  See the LISTBEGIN and
THEAD resources.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>

<!-- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -->
<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="multipage">Can I have multi-page indexes?</a></b></h3>

<p>Yes, in v2.0 or later.  Setting the MULTIPG and IDXSIZE will cause
indexes to to be listed across multiple pages with IDXSIZE determine
the number of messages listed per page.
</p>

<!-- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -->
<h3><img src="monicon.gif" align="bottom" alt=""> <b><a name="authorsort">Can I sort messages by author?</a></b></h3>

<P>Yes, with v2.0 beta 2, or later.
