In the case of a user loading an EClass into Documancer, there may be 
an existing index file which was created by EClass. (EClass uses 
SWISH-E indexing for full text search on CD, and eventually web too.) I 
was hoping that I could make use of the existing index file instead of 
having Documancer re-create the index file. In the case of EClass, the 
index file is in the root directory of the EClass (usually the CD root 
dir), so Documancer could see if there is an index file there, and if 
so, use it.

Thanks,

Kevin
