I have many references that come to me in the following form:

 AB A three-dimensional spreadsheet design based on intensional logic is
    proposed.  Intensional logic is concerned with assertions and other
    expressions whose meaning depends on an implicit context.  The
    intensional spreadsheet is a declarative spreadsheet with a simple
    formal semantics called intensional semantics.  It is expected to be
    suitable for a wide range of applications and for various users,
    including those who have had conventional programming experience.  As
    an example of using the intensional 3-D spreadsheet, the
    formalization of a systolic algorithm for matrix multiplication is
    considered.  2 Refs.

Does anybody know of a program to convert these to bibtex format?

Thanks for any and all help.

This looks similar to the INSPEC data-base format.  The major
difference that I see is that INSPEC does not use 2 letter
abbreviations.  I have some GNU emacs lisp code that converts INSPEC
to BibTeX format.
