Just a few days back there was a shar posted that had several programs
that did different things to the bibtex entry files. There was a shell script
called "btt" that invoked the appropriate one.... Well, I tried this one
along with looking in the database file for certain entries and I think
it is excellent. I would suggest that people who are looking for a 
bibliography database management program and work with bibtex should
definitely try this one. I forget the name of the poster but you can probably
roll back messages and find it yourself.

It is GREAT! All I had to do was modify the print command in the shell
script to the local print command and change "less" to "more" as that
is what I have here and it works very well.

Also, another thing to note is that it does everything with only ONE
bib file. No conversion is required etc. to some other format to 
facilitate referring to the database.

Just my $.02 worth.....
