There is also a version of BibTEX with a much larger capacity. “8-bit” BibTEX was written by Niel Kempson and Alejandro Aguilar-Sierra [20]. On many systems with 8-bit BibTEX (MiKTEX), the executable is called bibtex8.7" Maybe you can Google for these two options :-? > I know that memory limits for tex and its derived, for metapost can be > can be configured in the /etc/texmf/texmf.cnf configuration file: can we > do something similar for bibtex ? There is also a program named "biber" aimed to solve that memory limitations, maybe you can give it a wirl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/ And while searching for this program, I've found a "request for package" bug report in Debian BTS: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570018 Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
