I am using Bibtex in a LaTex document to get the bibliography.  
I have a big database file of references in b.bib.  I need to know how I can 
have only one copy of b.bib file on my VAX, and be able to access that 
bib file from any sbdirectory.  Currently I have a copy of b.bib in each 
subdirectory where I use LaTex, since at the end of the paper I have to put 
\bibliography {b}, if b.bib is not in the same subdirectory I get an error. 
I have also tried to put a path like \bibliography {~shah/papers/b.bib}, 
but it does not work.  Will appreciate any help.
