As I wrote, "xover" correctly only shows overview data only for
one article. ovdb is very nice, but in large parts still mystical
for me. Is there another way or a tool to check which overview
data is really stored for a group?

BTW, I have "storeonxref" set to "true", could this have some-
thing to do with it?

It's a test machine, so I don't mind changing the overview method.
I'll try tradindexed ...
