if some of you can believe it, posting refer formatted version of
the tocs of ieee toc is useful, but i would appreciate it if we
could all be consistant in the use of refer?  i'll do it if you do it.

1) please post, author's full name where ever possible.  friends at purdue
also conclude this.  it's not necessary to truncate since refer can truncate
information for you.  there are times it helps when following up to have
a full name.

2) it would be nice to have significant key words.  in the case of ieee
and acm pubs, its only a matter of copying them.  it would be nice to have
additional keywords and annotation, but i won't push this.

wow, refer madness

Sold!

In the past, I have used the official journal table of contents
to generate the TOC posted to the net.  The keywords do not appear
in the TOC, and the IEEE Transactions also abbreviate authors' first
names.

However, if you will, I will.  If you can stand to thumb through the
magazines looking for the next article, and can get them to lie flat
while you type in the info, then so can I.  Future postings of
TOPLAS and Transaction on Software Engineering will have full names
(when available) and keywords.
