[comp.text] bibtex and global string limits

Hi there,
	In writing my thesis using Latex and using Bibtex to collate
the references and do the houswork I find that for some references
that are cited as @misc I run up against a global string limit of 300.
I have adjusted the value in unsrt.bst to a larger value , reprocessed
and still the same limit is reached. The entries are comments (long
ones). As well a program that has quite a few authors names attached
to it also meets the same fate. Does any one have a suggestion short
of making the entries physically shorter. The bibliography is printed
OK, just that the offending entries are truncated somewhat.

thanks in advance,
regards tony scott
