I don't know where I should be reporting this, but since I've reported
it here in the past...
What were you trying to do?
Make a scribe thesis.
What's wrong:
The thesis.mss uses @Include for the table of contents. This
requires a Makefile hack to rename the contents files between runs.
Mitthe.mak uses the @Enable command. (Try to find documentation
on this command!)
What should have happened:
The thesis.mss should use @BackPlace, so that the renaming is
not needed. The Makefile is now obsolete, so it should be deleted (or
at minimum, the -mv lines deleted).
Mitthe.mak should use the @Generate command.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Scribe manuals (all).
Working new source is in /mit/scribedev/src/thesis. The file
'diffs' is a list of relavent context diffs, included below.

README - this file.
- Makefile - makes it easier to scribe the thesis. Note
- that because of the way Scribe generates
- the table of contents you must rename the
- contents files in between Scribe runs. Type
-
- make thesis
-
- to have it handle all of the renaming of
- files and stuff for you.
-
thesis.mss - main file used in scribing. Do not put any
text of your thesis here, only @include
statements.

'make thesis' while you in this directory. You may run Scribe on any
separate section of the thesis provided you include the appropriate
"@Part" commands at the beginning of the section's ".mss" file.
-
- Remember to rename the include file in between each Scribe run. (The
- makefile does this automatically.)
You might want to consider learning RCS (the Revision Control System) or
finding a way to make sure that you always have a backup copy.

Machine. It is currently set up to use a PostScript printer.
The include of dedication.mss is optional, you may delete it if you are not
! including a dedication. Scribe generates thesis.con, thesis.fig and
! thesis.tab. In between each pass through Scribe (your final version will
! probably require 3 runs through Scribe to get all of the references correct)
! you must rename these three files to have a .include ending so that they don't
! get smashed before they are included. Otherwise your thesis won't have any
! tables of contents, etc. The three files are:
- thesis.con table of contents
- thesis.fig table of figures
- thesis.tab table of tables
-
- If you do not have any tables or figures you may eliminate the appropriate
- include lines from below. If you do remove one of the include lines you should
- also remove the corresponding line from the Makefile.
