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.

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 Robert Davidge Sussex University School of Cognitive and Computer Sciences ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 02 Oct 1994 18:28:52 +0000 From: steven@phy.hw.ac.uk (Steve Hughes) Subject: using more than one bib file via bibtex Does anyone know how to incorporate more than one bib file in a large tex document, when using bibtex. ie- I want to have a seperate bib file for each chapter but tex doesn't seem to liker that.

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.

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 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Oct 1994 13:13:41 -0100 From: Fabricio Chalub Barbosa do Rosario Subject: Re: Problems building 600dpi HPLJ fonts with EmTeX > I have tried to remake all my fonts for our 600dpi HPLJ. > After changing MODES.MFJ I tried MFJOB, but I get errors trying to write > files. My *guess* is that the environment is set up wrong (I have no TeX > environmental variables set in this instance). Hints please. 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...
