I propose that we remove axiom.bib.pamphlet.
There is no axiom.bib.tex as far as I can tell - only axiom.bib.
But the idea of including citations to pamphlet files seems ill-
conceived to me. There is no documentation in the axiom.bib.pamphlet
file itself but in src/doc/Makefile.pamphlet we can read:
--------
\section{The bibtex stanza}
Axiom pamphlet files have citations. We collect all of the
pamphlet file citations into this one file so we have a standard
place and format for bibliographic references.
Citations of pamphlet files which are local are generally by the
name. For example, [[asq.c.pamphlet]] would be cited using
[[\cite{asq.c}]].
--------
But as far as I can tell this method is not actually used in any
other pamphlet file. Looking at the contents of axiom.bib I see
many non-unique entries.Further, I don't see how this wculd work
in the case where there are multiple root code chunks in a single
pamphlet file (e.g. algebra/*.spad.pamphlet).
I think that in future updates to the pamphlet files we should
encourage the use hyperref where relevant to include hypertex
links directly in the dvi/pdf files. See for example:
http://wiki.axiom-developer.org/book--main--1/Endpaper3
which contains hyperlinks in the graphics.

Bill Page.
