Subject: tds 1.0 available
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
