Subject: Expanding Macros in TeX to get pure plain TeX ?
Summary: Is there a way to expand certain macros while leaving others alone?

I would like to be able to expand certain macros in my TeX files, so that
I can get a clean version to send it to other people. The problem is with
the bibliographical referencing program I am using ( TiB ), which introduces
a lot of strange macros, which I would like to get expanded to obtain a
version that doesn't need these macros any more and is more readable.

This probably needs to be done by a smart preprocessing program.

Any help appreciated.
