The docs are old, they changed the syntax

mysql 4.1.7  running on windows 2000 server, dual 2.8 xeon with 1 gig of ram

I do not have any myisamchk options specified in the my.ini

I let it run for 2 weeks, and I killed it the data file is good, it sat 
for 2 weeks indexing, at least as far as I can tell

is this normal for mysql?

I have some bigger tables, guess I better migrate to a database that 
handles big files quick
