The UNIX-based bibtex program doesn't know what an alias is. You can keep it
in a central location and then put a symbolic link to it in each publication's
working directory. There are some GUI tools available for this.
Alternately, you can keep the .bib file in a central location that is searched
by kpsewhich. In Terminal, try `kpsewhich -show-path=bib` to see the
possibilities. Or just use the full path in your \bibliography{} command.

No hard limit on file size as far as I know.

If those are Curt Clifton's scripts, I've no idea if they still work; they're
pretty old. What happens when you use them?
