I assume that it replaces/augments >the paper Merck index and is therefore a commercial product (i.e. not >on the WWW). The Merck Index CD-ROM was recently published by Chapman & Hall. The software is similar to other C&H CD-ROMs (i.e. Head's text search and HDS' PsiBase for structure handling). I am copying this to Jane Macintyre at Chapman & Hall who will be able to provide more details. In reply to the earlier question, Derwent publishes the World Drug Index on CD-ROM. It is not a new product so I won't supply details to the list but I would be happy to provide information offline.
