Information

Interlock symlinks and auto-save files. Be aware that symbolic links of the form “.#*” are not auto-save files but interlocks to prevent the simultaneous editing of the same file. See Interlocking in the EmacsManual for details.

Errors

failed execution of bibtex2html

see bib2htmlxxxxxx.blg for errors, e.g.

  • I couldn't open style file acmu.bst
