Greetings! I was just hoping there was a group for TeX, and lo and behold, I found one! Must be living right, eh? Does anyone have bibTeX running? I am trying to use bibTeX under LaTeX to write my master's thesis, and the only thing I get is, 'Bus error - core dumped' each time I run it. I have searched the available documentation that came with the TeX distribution, but it doesn't seem to be real helpful. I surmise that the problem may lie in the fact that I do not know how to tell LaTeX the bib style file I want to use. The docs again do not reveal any information about this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What hardware & OS are you using? We have BibTeX running nicely on a variety of Unix boxes here... As far as telling it what bibliography style to use, you want \bibliographystyle{style} immediately after the \begin{document} command. plain is the conventional style; unsrt sorts entries by first citation rather than by author's name; there are a batch of others. -- &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& "English muffins are important." | Nathan Tenny "Yeah, but truffles are much better in bed." | mojo@reed.{UUCP,BITNET} - anonymous to protect the guilty | ...tektronix!reed!mojo
