153.0. "Fatal macro format file error?" by EPIK::CANFIELD () Fri Jun 16 1989 17:21

Does anyone know if the bookreader will accept the <object_name>
tag nested within an index entry?

For example:

<HEAD1>(Fields\fields)

<SUBHEAD2>(Add)
<X>(<OBJECT_NAME>(Add))
<COMMENT>(tabs, modify dict)
       
I have already built this book online successfully; however,
after index entries coded with the <object_name> tag were
added to one appendix, the book wouldn't build any longer.

It builds all the .tex file then gives the following error:

Is the problem with the index entries, or is it something else?

    A fatal format file error usually means that someone upgraded something
    in your system without upgrading everything. It has nothing to do with
    indexing.
