Then I could print out each of the different volumes of the series on a different coloured paper and bind them all together with the cumulative index, and I would have a handy GURPS Spaceships omnibus.

If you could cut and paste the indexes to respective text files, I could right a Perl script to combine them and reformat the page number references in a coherent way. Any good Unix nerd would be able to do it with a single command line instruction. ;)

Let's see if that works with Spaceships 1.... Yes. They cut and paste just fine. The only minor hitch is that you'll want to get rid of the unhelpful line breaks-- probably getting rid of all carriage returns that occur just before a line that starts with a number or lowercase letter would work for 99% of the cases.

Sounds like a fun project. :D
