The indices are platform independent so once built they
can be used on any operating system

I don't understand that ..all you would need is a httpd on the mac that
talks to wgetz?

can you send me the queries you have done? there should be really
no difference ...and if there is it can be all configured.
Alltext is a virtual data-field, ie, a group of indices that will
be all searched - those index groups can be added and modified -
the Alltext field is defined in srsgeneral.sdl - other data-fields
that want to be part of Alltext must point to the Alltext definition
..and yes, i should index the comment data-field in swissprot
