<div class="">Hello George,<br class="">
<br class="">
<div class="">What package(s) are you using to handle creation of the Glossary?</div>
</div>
<div class="">If glossaries.sty then there is a savewrites=true option that can be used.</div>
<div class="">Give it a try.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In your case the idea is that you will need to use the same write channel for each chapter.</div>
<div class="">You must not issue the TeX \newwrite command more than once.</div>
<div class="">You may need to consult the documentation to get everything working correctly; e.g. using a different type for each chapter.</div>

<div class="">Hope this helps.</div>

<div class="">Hi folks,<br class="">
<br class="">
I have encountered an unfamiliar (to me) problem: <br class="">
<br class="">
I am wrapping up a text book project. Creating a single symbol index was easy but useless, as symbols were listed randomly (vis a vis page numbers).<br class="">
<br class="">
So I turned to a by-chapter symbol index (but still one that is placed at the end of the book, the symbols grouped by chapter). This time compilation halts with a "too many \write’s" error message. (I have 16 chapters, 0-15; if I try to print a by-chapter index
for the first 7 or so chapters only, then I am OK).<br class="">
<br class="">
Any suggestions for a workaround?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thanks,<br class="">
<br class="">
Cheers<br class="">
George<br class="">
