[comp.text] BIBTEX->refer, 'printall' facilities

utter@batcomputer.tn.cornell.edu (Paula Sue Utter) (06/29/89)

A colleague of mine and I are going to distribute an on-line                    
bibliography on parallel debugging.  The bibliography file is in BIBTEX         
format.  We'd like to give people the option of choosing between BIBTEX         
or refer.  Does anyone know where I can get a BIBTEX to refer converter?        
I've heard of one going from refer to BIBTEX, but not the other way.            
                                                                                
Also, does anyone know of an easy way to print all the entries in a BIB         
file?  Right now, I simply keep a TEX file with a list of \cite{..}             
commands, then run Latex and BIBTEX on that.                                    
                                                                                
I'd appreciated it if replies were sent to me directly, since I don't           
always keep up with this newsgroup.  Thanks in advance for the info.

I've never heard of one going in that direction either.

The current BiBTeX - version .99 or later - supports the LaTeX command:

	\nocite{*}

This tells BiBTeX to included EVERYTHING in the bibiliography.

This command is new in .99; it won't work in .98.
