    Could someone explain exactly how symbol names are read when processed?
    I use the following symbol names throughout the chapters of a book:
    
    \fig_1_1)
    \fig_1_2)
        .
        .
        .
    \fig_9_22)
    
    and get the following error messages:
    
    "%TAG-W-DUPSYMBOL,at tag <SYMBOL_TABLE_ENTRY> on line XYZ in file
    ABC.GNC
    The symbol SYMBOL is defined twice
    The earlier definition is replaced by the new definition"
    
    Why aren't these symbols recognized as unique?
    
    Thanks,
    Fern

|     The symbols that you typed in your example ARE unique.
    
    Don't know why you would get a complaint about those symbols.
    
    Are you sure that the actual symbol that it is complaining
    about is unique?
    
    If a symbol is being declared in a file that is <include>d,
    and you include the file in more than one place, then it won't
    be unique.  Are you including a file that declares a symbol
    more than once?

    My humblest apologies.  I have figures and tables in all these chapters
    and halfway through I started to give "fig" symbol names to both
    the figures and the tables!
    
    Thank you for your quick reply.
