Is there such a beast (if there is a CTeX, why not !) ? Is it PD ?

Thanks in advance,

Pierre

If what you want is a C version of BibTeX, then the answer is yes.
It's part of the web2c package (which you can FTP from ics.uci.edu).

I have noticed a weird problem with the C version of BibTeX on our
Pyramid 90x run OSx 4.1.  When I use the command "bibtex" it asks for
a file name and everything goes fine.  When I use the command "bibtex
foo" nothing happens until I hit a carriage return, then it goes as
before.  I assume, but haven't gotten around to checking, that this
has something to do with the conversion of pascal to C, and how they
handle reads.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

This was a bug introduced by a fix for a previous bug ...

It is fixed now in the version of web2c on UCI.
