As I said before, this is probably not a bug in NDBM, but a bug in latex2html tratment of -long_titles, which is IGNORED by GDBM, and severely disgnosed by NDBM. > > Lots of people have recent Linux distributions (I use SuSE 6.2, based on > Kernel 2.2.13) and I suppose that lots of other successfully use RedHat or > Debian with LaTeX2HTML 99.2.

Marek's idea was good but not the proposed bypass. In fact "use xxx_FILE" has no effect (for an unknown reason... to be invertigated) and the only I found to force latex2html to use GDBM instead of NDBM was to eliminate al files of the form *_File.pm, except GDBM_File.pm (for linux users, easy to find using "locate").

It will point out some tricks... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Daniel Taupin, Physique des Solides, Univ.
