[comp.text.tex] Refer style citations for BibTeX

alberto@cs.umd.edu (Jose Alberto Fernandez R) (12/20/90)

I'm looking for any program that allows the use of citations "a la
refer" in latex files.

For the ones who don't know, in refer you put as a citation, any
combination of words that occur in the bibliography entry and the
system will give you the correct citation or a message that the
citation is ambiguos.

	Jose Alberto.

P.S.: Once somebody posted something about this.

The program TIB, which I believe is included in the UWash TeX
distribution, performs the functions you desire.  It works in a manner
similar to BIB, a REFER alternative that appeared a few years ago.
TIB may also be obtained (I believe)via ftp at june.cs.washington.edu
in ~ftp/tex.
