Hi Marcel,

I will figure out the thing with the script, but hoped that i could =
solve
this problem rather by configuring than by programming ;-) Seems that =
this
is not to go the "easy" way...=20

Thanks for your help.=20

> <a href=3D/dir3/file2.html></a>
> <a href=3D/dir4/dir5/dir6/file3.html></a>

> Then I conf'd htdig to use this file as start point for indexing.
> The index file itself does not show up in any htsearches as it has no
