+
+I have released version 1.0 of the TeX directory structure (TDS)
+document. The only substantive change since 0.9996 (several years ago)
+is adding fonts/enc and fonts/map subdirectories (for encodings and map
+files, respectively).
+
+You can view it online (HTML) at http://tug.org/tds/ and retrieve it in
+many other formats from ftp://tug.org/tds/.
+
+It should be mirrored to ctan shortly.
+
+Email tds@tug.org if comments, questions, or suggestions.
+
+Thanks,
+karl (for the TDS working group)

+Subject: I NEED SOME SERIOUS BIBTEX HELP - HELP HELP
+To: texhax@tex.ac.uk
+
+Hi Everyone:
+I am writing a book and I have a very large number of references
+(almost 1000). I have created a bibtex database and have gone through
+it with a fine tooth comb. No matter what I do, I keep getting the
+following BibTex error whenever I try to call Bibtex:
+
+This is Big BibTeX version 0.99c
+Implementation: EMX/GNU C 32 bit for Win32
+Release version: 3.71 (18 Aug 1996)
+
+The top-level auxiliary file:
+C:\pctexv4\MyAgingBook\LatexAgingBookStructure.aux
+A level-1 auxilliary file: agingbook_master_macropak.aux
+A level-1 auxilliary file: FontDefinitions.aux
+A level-1 auxilliary file: Definitions.aux
+A level-1 auxilliary file: TitlePage.aux
+A level-1 auxilliary file: LegalPage.aux
+The style file: plain.bst
+Database file #1: allrefs.bib
+ Illegal end of database file---line 38789 of file allrefs.bib
+ : }
+ :
+
+I could really use some help with this because I cannot get all of the
+references into the book. It stops at 100 references. The bibtex file
+is called allrefs.bib and my code call for the bibliography within the
+tex file of the book is
+
+\bibliographystyle{plain}{9999}
+\bibliography{allrefs}
+
+I am running on PCTeX 4.0
+
+The log file allrefs.log states the following:
+
+PTITeX 3.4, (c) Personal TeX, Inc. 1985-1998
+This is TeX 3.14159 (preloaded format=LATEX 3.1.4) 11 FEB 2003 17:27
+**&LATEX C:/pctexv4/MyAgingBook/allrefs.bib
+(C:\pctexv4\MyAgingBook\allrefs.bib
+LaTeX2e <2001/06/01>
+Babel <v3.7h> and hyphenation patterns for american, loaded.
+
+! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
+
+See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
+Type H <return> for immediate help.
+ ...
+
+l.1 @
+ preamble{ "\newcommand{\noopsort}[1]{} "
+? x
+.
+Here is how much of TeX's memory you used:
+ 6 strings out of 845
+ 235 string characters out of 7711
+ 9801 words of memory out of 57344
+ 3024 multiletter control sequences out of 10000
+ 3640 words of font info for 14 fonts, out of 20000 for 255
+ 14 hyphenation exceptions out of 607
+ 5i,0n,4p,1b,14s stack positions out of 200i,40n,60p,5000b,600s
+No pages of output.
+
+What is interesting about the log file is the fact that the actual
+database has no preamble code in it anywhere and there is no other
+bibtex related code in the main program.
+
+Thank you

+
+Run bibtex, not latex, on the .bib file.
+That is:
+ latex yourbook -> creates yourbook.aux
+ bibtex yourbook -> reads yourbook.aux and allrefs.bib, writes yourbook.bbl
+ latex yourbook -> reads yourbook.bbl
+
+Hope this helps,
+karl

+
+Your problem is that BibTeX simply runs out of memory and therefore stops
+reading the bib file at some random point. 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
