LAST UPDATED 7/10/95 BUG V2_001 Stelarbib "Von Der" -> "Van Der" However, I'm afraid that your "Stelarbib" package have a tiny bug. I suspect that the stelarbib.c converts "VON DER" to "van der"?? I think it must be fixed. WORKAROUND V2_001 Edit the entry by hand into the database. FIX V2_001 This will not be fixed because the STELAR abstracts have disappeared from the Web. BUG V3_001 04/27/95 Documentation error in cheatsheet There is a typo in your document "ASTROBIB FOR THOSE IN A HURRY". The extra comma in the command \documentstyle[12pt,aasms,astrobib,]{article} causes latex to search for a file called `.sty'. Since this file does not exist, the program comes back asking for an explanation. FIX V3_001 04/28/95 Revised the documentation BUG V3_002 04/27/95 Documentation error in ancillary.tex Here's another little buglet. If you have only one author, but his name is something like "de Boer" or "Lloyd Evans," your software assigns a code name like "de Boer85" or "Lloyd Evans74." But bibtex wants code names to be all one word -- I guess, as it's certainly complaining now. A work-around is simply for the user to assign an acceptable code name, but perhaps the next version of your s/w could insert an underscore in place of the blank. WORKAROUND V3_002 Create the label yourself with, e.g. %L deBoer85 BUG V3_003 04/28/95 Jr. doesn't work Astrobib truncates Jr. into J. WORKAROUND V3_003 Bad one. Have to edit the .bbl file yourself after running bibtex. High priority to fix. BUG V3_004 04/30/95 Included files with .tex don't work Here's an interesting bug: I want to insert my tables as include files, so I have these lines in my paper: \include{tables/table1} \include{tables/table2} But this doesn't work, because getref doesn't know to add the ".tex" suffix and can't find the files. If you put them in as "table1.tex," then dvips (which knows to add the suffix) can't find the file "table1.tex.tex"! The work-around is to list them as \include{tables/table1.tex} \include{tables/table2.tex} in your original file, and then delete the ".tex" endings in xample_b.tex before running latex one last time. Better to fix the bug, though. WORKAROUND V3_004 A better workaround for the moment is to leave the .tex off the actual file names. Your \input line would be something like \input{tab_fig/tab1} and in tab_fig, the file is named tab1. This worked in version 2. I haven't checked it for version 3. BUG V3_005 05/18/95 ref_to_tex fails on Dec Alpha Syntax error in makebib. FIX V3_005 05/19/95 The alpha actually uses "nawk" rather than "awk." Nawk is a bit pickier about the format of sprintf statements. The code has been revised to work with both awk and nawk. BUG V3_006 05/01/95 %B description missing On p. 6 of your article on ref_to_tex, you list the meaning of key letters in the refer-style database. You don't include %B on your list. I can never remember how to list a book and have to go back to astrobib/doc to find an example. FIX V3_006 07/10/95 Documentation has been revised. BUG V3_007 07/10/95 getref doesn't handle shortciteNP FIX V3_007 07/10/95 Getref has been revised. BUG V3_008 07/14/95 getref getting confused with \input FIX V3_008 07/14/95 Oops. That was a result of fixing the shortciteNP bug (forgot to update an array index). Getref has been revised. BUG V3_009 07/14/95 .bib file lists extra author names This doesn't seem to affect anything, but there are extra authornames being printed out in the .bib file when it is constructed using ref_to_tex. BUG V3_009 07/14/95 This was from leftover debugging statements. They have been commented out. BUG V3_010 07/25/95 ref_to_tex repeated %V and %D entries. I started this note with the intention of sending you the complete entry for your bib file, but it just occurred to me that this one won't work, since the program will use the volume number from the previous entry in your list. Oh, well. %A Hurwitz M. %A Bowyer S. %D 1995 %J advsr %P {in press} Actually, that cropping up of old values is a universal phenomenon. I have a habit of typing %Y instead of %D. The program then ignores my value for the year and recycles the date from the previous entry. FIX V3_010 07/25/95 Fixed in version 3.4
