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

Hi folks,
I have encountered an unfamiliar (to me) problem:
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).
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).
Any suggestions for a workaround?
Thanks,
Cheers
George
