This is not an interactive program, but an alternative to BibTeX.  Dr.
James Alexander has a program called tib, in
eneevax.umd.edu:~ftp/pub/tib.  The database is sort of refer-like and
one advantage over BibTeX is the ability to use keywords. It runs on
Unix and VMS and possibly other systems. It is written in C and looks
fairly portable.  We have it installed here but most (if not all) users
prefer to use the standard BibTeX.
