Hello!
I am trying to read Ferret index files from Windows machine on my Mac
G5 Leopard machine, but the following returns nil:
Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new( index_paths )
Should this work? Are index files guaranteed to be platform
independent or not? Is there any problem if files (top direectory)
are renamed?

P.S. I can create the index myself and then everything works.
I have copied Ferret index files from a Redhat Linux machine to a
Windows Vista machine, and they worked. I haven’t tried it on a Mac,
though.

Yes, but that was copy from Intel to Intel hardware. I copied from
Intel to PowerPC hardware. You know, endiannes and all that…

For the archives…
It was not a problem with contents of index files but a) some files
were not copied properly and b) some slight behavioural change in
ferret (?) required app to issue additional doc.load for some indexes
before field values could be accessed…
Everything works just fine now…
