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

I'm sure there must be a way out of it as it seems a sensible

The chapterbib package, available on
ftp//ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/chapterbib.sty
may or may not help (it's supposed to, but I've never used it). Give
it a whirl...

I've used the bibunits.sty package to do something like this.
In fact what I did was create a resume with separate sections for
"Publications" and "Presentations" - each of which produces a separate
"bibliography" from a separate bib file. Anal or what? :-)

I downloaded the entire contents of the gtex/ directory in
ftp.tex.ac.uk and followed the instrctions on installation after
reading README.DOC file.
However, it doesn't mention where I should put the environment
varialbes, such as
SET TEXINPUTS = .;C;/TEX/TEXINPUTS//
SET TEXFORMATS = .;C:/TEX/TEXFMTS//
etc.
So, I put these instructions in the autoexec file and after starting

What am I doing wrong??
Any help appreciated.

Yes, that's correct.

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...
