Eaton) Newsgroups: comp.text Subject: BIBTeX Message-ID: <2268@ut-emx.UUCP> Date: 10 May 88 18:40:39 GMT Organization: The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, Texas Lines: 28 I have a lot of references which I would like to have listed in BIBTeX file(s) but have found that entering them in an editor is pretty slow going, and that I have to keep looking to see what fields I need to enter. So, Does anyone out there know of or have an interactive program which will help me create .bib files for BIBTeX? Ideally, this program would prompt me for the type of entry (i.e. Journal, Book, etc.) and then let me enter the information for the different fields. It would also remind me which fields were required, optional or ignored for each type of entry. Extra bonus features would be checking to see that the key I've chosen is unique, and whether the entry already exists. I could write one, and probably will if no one knows of such a beast, but would appreciate knowing whether I would just be duplicating existing software. thanks in advance ... J.
