JHB> A number of books incorporate into their bibliography items a
JHB> list of one or more pages on which the given reference is cited
JHB> in that book.  For example, the book The Analysis of Variance, by
JHB> H. Scheffe, contains this entry in the bibliography: G. Birkhoff
JHB> and S. MacLane (1953), A Survey of Modern Algebra, Macmillan, New
JHB> York. [371, 380, 387] The three numbers in brackets indicate the
JHB> pages on which Scheffe cites Birkhoff and MacLane.  Scheffe did
JHB> this for every entry.

JHB> Is there a simple way (or any way) to do this in LaTeX?  I've
JHB> looked at http://tug.ctan.org and also at the documentation for
JHB> makebst.tex, but don't see this issue discussed.


The style backref.sty (part of the hyperref bundle) does exactly
this.

And what is the compiler supposed to do instead? Go shopping for you
and buy more memory?
