+Subject: Bib style using key as label?
+
+I need to find a bibliography style file that would use the key as the label.
+
+For example a style file that would create a Bibliography entry that would use
+ABB91(the given KEY) as the label.
+
+@article{ABB91,
+ author = {Abbas Abbas et. al.},
+ journal = {In IMS91},
+ key = {ABB91},
+ title = {"Multidatabase Management in Pegasus"}
+}
+
+ALPHA style does this for entries with one author, but when there are more than
+one author it uses the first letters of each surname as the label. e.g. for the
+entry
+@article{AGR89,
+ author = {R. Agrawal and N.H. Gehani},
+ journal = {Proceedings ACM SIGMOD},
+ key = {AGR89},
+ title = {ODE (Object Database and Environment): The language and the data mo
+del},
+ year = {1989}
+}
+
+it creates as the label AG89. I need a style that would create AGR89 (the given
+KEY) for this entry as well.
+
+I have tried to modify the alpha.bst file, but it looks very complicated for me
+and I couldn't find any information on the language used other than bxtbst.doc.
+
+Hope someone knows a style file that would do this or if anybody can explain me
+how and where to change the .bst file to do this.
+
+Sorry for the longness of the request.
+
+Thanx.

+Subject: Inserting space
+
+I hope you cna help me. Our local texperts are proving silent on this question.
+
+We have at Sussex a thing called thesis.sty which we use for writing
+theses, but the problem may occur in other latex styles.
+
+I am not a Texer so can not write in this language.
+
+The problem is to do with the list of figures. It seems to have a fixed
+amount of space between the numbering and the caption. This works fine
+until you have a chapter number > 9 and a figure no. > 9. Then ther
+is no space left before your caption starts.
+
+AN EXAMPLE
+
+ 1.1 The ......
+ 2.10 The......
+ 10.1 The ......
+ 10.10The ......
+
+I would not like to see the mess produced if you had more than 99 figures!
+
+many thanks for your attention

+The chapterbib package, available on

+
+Ok, edit your CONFIG.SYS, and include the line:
+
+SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /e:1024 /p
+
+Note, that I have assumed that COMMAND.COM is on the C drive, at the
+top level. If it is anywhere else, addapt the line accoringly!
+
+> What am I doing wrong??
+
+This specifies that 1024 bytes of memory should be allocated for the
+environment and path variables.

+Subject: Re: Installing GTex on PC. Help!!
+
+The solution of your problem is quite simple.
+Increase the environment space allocate for COMMAND.COM.
+To do this add in your CONFIG.SYS file the line:
+SHELL=c:\dos\command.com /e:720
+where 720 is the number of bytes for the environment. Adjust it to your
+system's needs.
+
+hope that helps

+
+I don't have a hplj yet, but I'm planning to aquire one in the future
+so I've decided to start trying to produce 600dpi METAFONTs... So, I
+changed the file LOCAL.MF and added another `def' named ``hpdouble'',
+where the settings are the same of the ``hplaser'' just that the
+resolution I set to 600dpi. I had to rebuild CM.BAS and PLAIN.BAS by
+typing MF -i CM.INI and MF -i PLAIN.INI (MF -i is INITMF, just like
+INITEX).
+
+Then I defined another variable (dlj) on MODES.MFJ where I tell MJob
+to put the fonts in the directory \NEWFONTS\PIXEL.DLJ\$rDPI and the
+TFM's on \NEWFONTS\PIXEL.DLJ\TFM.
+
+Then I fired MFJOB m=dlg all. And for the next few hours he ran MF
+in all Computer Modern! I checked with PKEDIT one of that fonts and
+it's really much bigger (on the screen) than those that were made
+with 300dpi, so I think it worked out alright, but as I've said I
+don't have (yet) a 600dpi laser printer (I have only an epson...).
+
+I'm sorry to give only a literal explanation without examples of the
+files that were really modified, since I'm writing from the terminal
+of my university and my TeX installation is at my home computer...
