I thank you, Kushal.  I forgot about the TeX FAQ.  

I am using multi-columns, so dvi2tty is not suitable, but catdvi with
the --sequential option works.

The TeX FAQ provided a link to a complete delatex archive, so perhaps
I can get delatex running; it appears to be a much better solution.

For some reason, xindy is not in the Debian archive, but I did find
www.xindy.org.  It may be better for me to use makeindex for the
present time.
