>From the OTHERINDEXES resource page of the documentation:

CAUTION  It is very important that each resource file specified
	 defines the MAIN or THREAD resource to determine the type of
	 index to create.  Also, the IDXFNAME or TIDXFNAME resource
	 (and IDXPREFIX or TIDXPREFIX resource if MULTIPG is active)
	 must be defined to prevent overwriting of the default
	 index pages.

You need to define IDXFNAME and IDXPREFIX in author.mrc to values
that will prevent overwriting the date index pages.
