Page numbers in Bibliography

Post by Tim »

I'm having difficulty getting the page numbers of my thesis bibliography to display right. The bibliography page numbers should read:
"BIB - [page number]", but whenever I use NatBib, it overrides the new chapter and sets the bibliography pages as a continuation of Appendix C pages (ie. Bibliography page 1 is numbered C-9).

The right page numbering is specified in the class file (copy included at the end of the post), and I think NatBib with it's \renewenvironment in the style file is overwriting this code. I need NatBib for it's sorting and compressing of the references for in-text citations. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

%    ****************************************
%    *             BIBLIOGRAPHY             *
%    ****************************************
%
\def\@cite#1#2{[{#1\if@tempswa :#2\fi}]}
\def\@biblabel#1{#1.\hfill}  %change from the default [#1]

\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
  {
   \chapter*{\bibname
        \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\bibname}{\MakeUppercase\bibname}}%
   \ifx\ch@ptnum\ch@ptnumflag{}
   \else\gdef\thepage{BIB-\arabic{page}}
        \setcounter{page}{1}\fi
   \vspace{2.5ex}
   \singlespace
   \list{\@biblabel{\arabic{enumiv}}}%
        {\settowidth\labelwidth{\@biblabel{#1}}%
         \leftmargin\labelwidth
         \advance\leftmargin\labelsep
         \usecounter{enumiv}%
     \itemsep 0.02in
         \let\p@enumiv\@empty
         \renewcommand\theenumiv{\arabic{enumiv}}%
    }
   \sloppy\clubpenalty4000\widowpenalty4000%
   \sfcode`\.\@m}
  {\def\@noitemerr
    {\@latex@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
   \endlist}
