Hi all,
I really, honestly think this thread has gone on quite long
enough--it has degenerated into an argument over whether or not OT
posters have taken the hint, and I really don't see that getting
anywhere. So, to summarize what I think has been said so far:

Ye gods but this thread got out of control. I would respond, but I
accidentally deleted a lot of it with an overzealous delete command
in gnus (I passed it a 20 instead of a 2, somehow). Nice to know
people are *passionate,* at least.

Are you using the Emacs/emacsclient from the Debian repositories?
If so, you may want to upgrade to CVS. It turns out the old version
of emacsclient d

of doing actual research.

Hey all,
Has anybody had success getting BibTeX (specifically apacite, but
BibTeX in general) to work with LaTeX-Beamer? If so, any
information on how to do so would be much appreciated.

it actually updates, but I've also heard tell that peopl
