Since the output of refer is simply a bunch of troff commands, I use a sed
script to convert them into calls to TeX macros. I even have a little shell
script that runs refer with the bibliography file, runs sed and creates a TeX
input file. I can mail these things to you if you want. 

I have another version of the macro file to use with LaTeX; the latter is what
I usually use.
