(NY, NY) Lines: 26 Almost everyone at the PHRI uses bib to format the references for their manuscripts. As a result, we've managed to build up a rather large bibliography of molecular biology references in a form suitable for use with bib. I'm only really familiar with bib, but I think transforming the bibliography to refer format should require a trivial sed/awk script at worst. We have almost 1000 citations, totaling about 200 kbytes. We also have bib macros (/usr/lib/bmac/bib.* files) for use with most of the biological journals (PNAS, all the ASM journals, MGG, JMB, and shortly, Cell and Plasmid). I've also developed a few rudimentary tools for weeding out duplicates in the data base and cleaning up badly formated references. It's a bit too big to mail (and of much too limited interest to post) so anybody who wants a copy of all this can send me a blank 600 ft. tape (with a pre-paid return mailer). We can write 1600 bpi tapes in tar, tp, and cpio formats. I would be most interested to hear from people who have their own biology bibliographies (or bib tools and macros) and would be willing to share them. -- Roy Smith System Administrator, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016
