"mirror" DATABASE FOR PAPERS IN FTP ARCHIVES (1 March 1993) ... JOINT PAPERS? Where do you put joint papers in your filing cabinet? I suggest choosing one of the authors, and then putting a cross reference (ie a short file which says "see BloggsJ for Bloggs & Smith") in the other directories. Personal bibliography databases should have complete entries under each individual author. If most of your work is done within a particular stable group, that can have an entry in the database as if it were a single person.
Might I recommend symbolic links instead of cross references? As long as the mirror software supports them, it would make the storing of joint papers transparent. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
