Sorry - I should have been a little more explicit. I did indeed incorporate the corrections and additions you sent me. The file I made available for `ftp' uncompresses and untars into a directory containing the `.bib' files, a latex file to create the `.dvi' file, and a README file. I include here the contents of the README file, which should make exactly what I did a little clearer. - Wanda < contents of README file >=========================== This directory contains a set of files to produce the `sci.virtual-worlds' bibliography as a `.dvi' file. (Steps to follow are included in the file `bib.tex'.) Familiarity with the use of TeX/LaTeX/BibTeX' is assumed. The files in this directory correspond to those available on milton.u.washington.edu, as follows: orig.bib bibliography_original_10-90 add1.bib bibliography_additions1_11-90 add2.bib bibliography_additions2_11-90 add3.bib - `add3.bib' contains additions sent directly to me by Bob Jacobson and submitted to him by David Sturman. David's submission also included corrections which I have incor- porated into the `.bib' files in this directory. As I stated in my posting, I have not been meticulous with either my classification or reading through the hard copy for typos. Where I noticed a piece of information missing, I simply put a question mark. My motivation was simply to get myself a typeset hard copy to peruse over a glass of wine in some cafe where my computer isn't. --

If I use tex/bibtex, etc., it will have to be on a Mac. Can anyone suggest an easy way to do so? I guess I'm asking for an Idiot's Guide here--when I looked at one of the ftp sites for OzTeX, I found about a zillion megs of files to be ftp'ed, downloaded, unstuffed, etc., and I thought, eek you must be kidding. I mean, I don't want to go into the typesetting/dtp biz, I just want to read/print out some files. So, is there a (relatively) easy way of doing so? (I'm posting this here because I figure at least a few others are in the same position I am.) -- Tom Maddox tmaddox@milton.u.washington.edu "It is imperative to write invulnerable sentences." -- Hugo Ball
