Yes, those are sample commands for indexing and searching. I have
tested it on the sample records but would be grateful for help with
more rigorous testing.

This is the project page:

For now you would have to get the source via anonymous CVS, because
the latest version has not quite stabilized into a release yet. Most
of the recent changes involve work on a C interface and for the TREC
conference. Here are instructions for checking out the very latest
(possibly unstable) version from CVS:
cvs -d:pserver:[log in to unmask]:/cvsroot/amberfish login
(press Enter - no password)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[log in to unmask]:/cvsroot/amberfish co amberfish

Yes, this is possible. However, testing it directly, in Linux for
example, is not difficult.
