-This chapter lists the xbNdx and xbNtx index methods and provides 
-examples of how to use them.<br><br>
-
-There are many methods in the xbNdx and xbNtx classes which are used for 
-maintaining and updating NDX and NTX files.  Fortunately for the 
-application programmer, most of the complexities of dealing with the 
-NDX and NTX indices are automatically cared for by the Xbase library.<br><br>
-
-xbNdx and xbNtx methods which are used by application programs are documented here.
-With some exceptions (OpenIndex,CloseIndex and KeyExists) using the index 
-routines automatically positions and returns the associated record in
-the DBF database.<br><br><br>

-<h3>Method xbShort xbNdx::CheckIndexIntegrity( xbShort option )</h3>
-<h3>Method xbShort xbNtx::CheckIndexIntegrity( xbShort option )</h3><br>
-
-This method checks an open index for accuracy or file corruption.
-If the option is non zero, the method will display informational messages.<br>

-<h3>Method xbShort xbNdx::CloseIndex( VOID )</h3>
-<h3>Method xbShort xbNtx::CloseIndex( VOID )</h3><br>
-
-This method closes an open NDX index.  NDX indexes are closed automatically
-by the DBF::CloseDatabase routine, so this is an optional method.
-Closed indices are not updated by the Xbase routines.<br><br>

-value.<br><br>
-<li><em>Indexname</em> - is the name of the physical index file name.
-<li><em>KeyExpression</em> - is the key of the index.

-<h3>Method xbShort xbNdx::FindKey( xbDouble SearchValue )</h3>
-<h3>Method xbShort xbNtx::FindKey( char * SearchValue )</h3>
-<h3>Method xbShort xbNtx::FindKey( xbDouble SearchValue )</h3><br>
-
-This method searches the index for key <em>SearchValue</em>.  
-The routine positions in the index, then positions to the database record
-for the key.  If the key is not
-found, the key value that is the next higher value is returned.<br><br>
-
-For character keys, the SearchValue should be a null terminated string.
-To find an exact match, use a key value which is as long as the key is,
-padded on the right with spaces.<br><br>
-
-For numeric keys, use a xbDouble value for a search value.  This is because
-all numeric field indices are saved as double values.<br><br>
