Can you use IDX indexes with xBaseJ

Question

I have DBF's with IDX index files. It looks like xbase itself can handle them, but it does not look like a class has been written in xbasej for it yet. Has anyone used IDX files with xbasej, or can it be done?

Reference to xbase: http://www.clicketyclick.dk/databases/xbase/format/idx_comp.html

Do you know if these are compact index files, or the original ones? — Ethan Furman, Jan 07 '15 at 23:45
I believe they are the original ones, I can use something like vi to look at them and it has legible data in them. — Kris O'Mealy, Jan 08 '15 at 15:57

Have you tried DBF#useIndex in xBaseJ?

Yes, but that looks to only handle NDX type indexes. My IDX indexes can not be used with the useIndex method. There is an NDX.java in xBaseJ, but there is not one for IDX's. – Kris O'Mealy Apr 02 '15 at 23:18
