I need a tool for maintaining bibliographies (including either abstracts
or references to files containing the abstracts). I'd much prefer that
it be MS-DOS based, since that is what I have at home, but I'm certainly
desparate enough to consider any alternative.
I need to be able to create Bib(1) files for Unix documents, and to be
able to select the referenced documents for inclusion in MS-WORD, Word
Perfect, etc on the PC and/or WORD, WordPerfect, MacWrite, etc on a
Macintosh.
Basically, I want to be able to keep all of my bibliographic references
in one central repository, and then have references to them resolved in
some fashion without my having to hand convert them for yet another
paper.
Any suggestions? Money is limited (I'm a PhD student), but my time
isn't (just ask any professor on campus!). I'm even willing to write
generators if someone would mail me a copy of the specifications for
Unix(tm) BIB(1) and some starting-point source.
Thanks folks. Any help would be appreciated. Please e-mail responses.
If I receive enough to warrant follow up, I summarize (and post to
{...}.sources, if appropriate).
