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) --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Dr. Tarynn M. Witten" Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2003 18:01:02 -0500 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 and hyphenation patterns for american, loaded. ! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}. See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation. Type H 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.

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 --__--__-- Message: 5 From: "Philip G. Ratcliffe" To: Subject: Re: I NEED SOME SERIOUS BIBTEX HELP - HELP HELP Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2003 22:14:36 +0100 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.
