I just started using such programs as lookbib, addbib and indxbib for my databases. I had previously written my own little database program that did the job reasonably well. But since its better to have a 'standard' format for databases, I converted everything to the *bib format. I must admit though, that I HATE the output generated by lookbib, and I don't want to use roffbib every time. Isn't there someone who has written some kind of nicer version of lookbib where one can define how to display records found in a search? This could for instance be done the same way a promptfile is defined for addbib. Something like (for instance): "%T" written by %A, published in %J, %V(%D)%P. would cause the records to be displayed as: "Title of publication" written by Authors, published in Journal, V(19XX)nnn. I'd love to have a copy of such a program! My system is a DEC PRO350 with Venix, but any Unix version is more than welcome. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
