Re: Major Problems with Ibidem

[Andrew Hahn <anhahn@nospam.jtsa.edu>]

Hello John,

    Do you have any transliterated symbols for Hebrew ayin or aleph
    that you imported from NB DOS? I found out that Ibidem for windows
    doesn't like these much. You need to delete them and replace them
    with their NBWIN equivalents (F6 + 9 or 0). Or it could be that
    there are other characters that Ibidem has trouble with. In any
    case, I think you'll find one in your 6th entry. The best way to
    fix it is to edit the Ibidem data file directly...

    Good luck
