It works under Unix. I enter references by making copies of similar entries and modifying them, using an editor.

BiBTeX is great because you can program the format of refereces, and because it integrates with the LaTeX type setting program, so one need never retype a list of references again. I have a program that will convert refer format to BiBTeX if you need it. (DON'T USE refer: it's getting out of date and BiBTeX is more powerful.) >Toufic Boubez >boubez@caip.rutgers.edu Tom Schneider National Cancer Institute Laboratory of Mathematical Biology Frederick, Maryland 21701-1013 toms@ncifcrf.gov
