I don't have those proceedings with me at the moment, so I can't give you any more info, but perhaps someone in the UK or with a copy would be able to help out... From what I remember, the speaker and his gang of students had implemented just such a system as one you want (many modularized files), which coped with multiple authors and cross referencing and other goodies. But then, my memory isn't good at the best of times, so I could be wrong :-) Nick Williams. njw@athena.mit.edu, njw@doc.ic.ac.uk, njw@cc.ic.ac.uk
