If I recall correctly, Hans wanted to support it later, but didn't do so until now. -- I think the problem with xindy is that there isn't a windows version (to say nothing about a Mac) and that it isn't included in teTeX or in the Linux distributions (correct me, if I'm wrong). Since PERL does a good work on strings, PERL 5.6 does even work with UNICODE, I think it is feasable to do it in texutil. Tobias
