You need to run BibTeX8 (the +so-called eight-bit version), which is more configurable and allows for a +much larger database. + +If you are using MiKTeX or the like, then you should already have it and its +documentation, otherwise you can downlaod from CTAN. + +One word of warning: if you are using a bst that orders alphabetically, you +may find a slight difference in the output between the standard and the +eight-bit versions. + +Cheers, Phil Ratcliffe + +--__--__-- + +About TeXhax... + +For information on the TeX Users Group, please send a message to +office@tug.org, or write TeX Users Group, 1466 NW Front Avenue, +Suite 3141, Portland, OR 97209-2820 USA (phone: 1 503 223 9994, +fax: 1 503 223 3960). + +End of TeXhax Digest |
