- I've broken something. Please fix it, mommy....
-
- I added a lot of material to Ibid last night at home, increasing the
- size of nbbib000.dat. I then copied this file over the same file when
- I came in to work this morning (as material had been added); and now I
- can't find any of the material I added last night. Updating,
- re-indexing, etc. does not help. It won't find entries later than the
- ones on the original nbbib000.dat - that is, the one I took home to
- work on and to extend. It was in fact larger than the one on my home
- machine; so this morning I tried unsuccessfully to do at work what I
- did quite successfully at home and without thinking twice about
- it.......
-
- At the same time, how does one then sensibly use Ibid between two
- machines; and what files does one thus keep a backup of? And carry
- between the machines?
