September 3, 1992 updated November 12, 1995 updated October 2000 This is a collection of BibTeX tools written (mostly) by David Kotz. I provide them as-is. Use them as you please. Some slight modifications may be needed to pathnames embedded in the shell scripts, to find the library files they need (sed, awk, and bst files). The programs are: aux2bib - given an .aux file, make a portable .bib file to go with it. This is useful when you need to ship a tex file elsewhere bibify - this can be used to eliminate one pass of LaTeX in many cases: (latex, bibtex, bibify, latex), instead of (latex, bibtex, latex, latex). Handy for large documents. Does not work with multiple aux files. bibkey - make a list of all entries that have the given keyword in their "keyword" field. cleantex - really a general tex script, this removes all the little files created by tex and latex as they run, leaving only the original files. looktex - makes a list of all entries that match a given regexp makebib - makes an exportable .bib file from a given set of bib files and an optional list of citations. Handy for posting bib entries on the net! The portability comes from substituting @strings, and stripping "comment" fields if you like. Ignore the -d option. printbib - the most useful of all; this makes a dvi file from a .bib file for handy reference, sorted by cite key and including "keyword", "abstract", and "comment" fields. bib2html - produce an browsable html version of the bibliography. There are lots of styles that do slightly different things. See demo.html. citekeys - makes a list of all the cite keys (on the @ line) See the shell scripts for more documentation. Otherwise you're on your own. Good luck. David Kotz dfk@cs.dartmouth.edu
