This is a collection of BibTeX tools written (mostly) by David Kotz.
I provide them as-is. Use them as you please. Some slight
modifications may be needed to pathnames embedded in the shell
scripts, to find the library files they need (sed, awk, and bst
files).
The programs are:
aux2bib - given an .aux file, make a portable .bib file to go
with it. This is useful when you need to ship a tex file elsewhere
bibify - this can be used to eliminate one pass of LaTeX in
many cases: (latex, bibtex, bibify, latex), instead of (latex, bibtex,
latex, latex). Handy for large documents. Does not work with multiple
aux files.
bibkey - make a list of all entries that have the given
keyword in their "keyword" field.
cleantex - really a general tex script, this removes all the
little files created by tex and latex as they run, leaving only the
original files.
looktex - makes a list of all entries that match a given regexp
makebib - makes an exportable .bib file from a given set of
bib files and an optional list of citations. Handy for posting bib
entries on the net! The portability comes from substituting @strings,
and stripping "comment" fields if you like. Ignore the -d option.
printbib - the most useful of all; this makes a dvi file from
a .bib file for handy reference, sorted by cite key and including
"keyword", "abstract", and "comment" fields.
See the shell scripts for more documentation.
Otherwise you're on your own. Good luck.
