Should I have reported this elsewhere?  The bug has not been fixed, and
I have not received any message regarding questions about it.  People
are already copying this template.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
System name:		heath-bar-crunch
Type and version:	CVAXSTAR 7.1H (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		SM

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.

<patch follows>
