Re: latex bibliographies with multiple databases

Hi Markus,

> I've fixed refdbd to support multiple databases in bibtex too.

Now it is not working for me at all.

runbib is retrieving no information.  Here is an annotated transcript:

I ran refdbd standalone at log setting 7.  Here is the feedback 
generated when running the runbib or refdbib command as above:

I'm not familiar with the 'gettexbib' command.  The '19' initially 
looked a little strange but I had a quick dive into refdbib.c and it 
looks like that is a legitimate parameter -- the command buffer string 
length.

Adding the database name to each reference as per the manual makes no 
difference.

Regards,
David.

P.S. The refdb-users lists is rejecting my posts sporadically with the 
claim my ISP is not providing a postmaster address, so I'm copying all 
my posts to your personal email address.

Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
