I need to know how I can |have only one copy of b.bib file on my VAX, and be able to access that |bib file from any sbdirectory. Currently I have a copy of b.bib in each |subdirectory where I use LaTex, since at the end of the paper I have to put |\bibliography {b}, if b.bib is not in the same subdirectory I get an error. |I have also tried to put a path like \bibliography {~shah/papers/b.bib}, |but it does not work. Will appreciate any help. | |Mubarak Shah shah@ucf See at the tex man page about the TEXINPUTS environment variable. This is for Unix TeX. Ken
