Glad to know it can create the file. mmm... i admit, it's burried a bit in the manual. the very last paragraph in section 2.1 "Getting Started" mentions it. anyway, ebib is meant to be used with bibtex files, and bibtex is meant to be used with latex, not as a stand-alone bibliography database engine. so if you just want to create a database of your books and dvds, and have no intention of using it with latex, ebib is probably not the best tool for the job. -- Joost Kremers joostkremers@yahoo.com Selbst in die Unterwelt dringt durch Spalten Licht EN:SiS(9)
