- README file for MacBibTex version 1.1
-
- This is the BibTeX 0.99c Mac Distribution Kit.
-
- Included in this kit are the following:
- BibTeX application for the mac
- Source code for the BibTeX application
- Bibtex 0.99c compatable style files
- ResTools - a resource compiler from Alan Dahlbom
- Prototype Maker - a C function prototype generator from Peter Olson
-
- ResTools is used for compiling the resources used by the Mac application.
- Prototype Maker is used for converting new versions of BibTeX to the Mac,
- you should not need to use it unless you get a new version of BibTeX for
- unix.
-
- PLEASE!!! Do not blame me for the bibtex sources. I didn't write them.
- They came out of Web2C and I got them like that.
-
- BibTeX was written with a virtual memory architecture in mind, it uses
- large static arrays to store its data. These have been made into run
- time allocated pointers for the Mac, but they are still static. As a
- result BibTeX will require 700k to run for any sized file. This means
- that it will probably not run under MultiFinder on a 1 meg Mac.
-
- THIS DISTRIBUTION IS ENTIRELY IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. We insist that it remains
- that way. This port was derived from public domain software. We started with
- Oren Patashnik's BIBTEX.WEB from Stanford and used Tim Morgan's web2c from
- UC-Irvine to create the base C code. We could not have made this port without
- their public contributions.
-
- Please make sure you use the 0.99c compatable style files included on this
- distribution. Style files written for 0.98i Bibtex are incompatable and will
- result in more errors and you care to count.
-
- MacBibTex works as follows:
- (1) Double click the icon
- (2) You get dumped directly into a file selection menu showing only
- *.aux files. BibTex only reads *.aux files, there should be one
- with the same name as your foo.tex file (eg foo.aux or foo.tex.aux)
- You can also move around folders and drives in the usual MAC way.
- (3) If all goes well, BibTex quits quietly and dumps you back to the
- desktop w/o saying a word. The *.bbl and *.blg files have been
- written in the same directory as the *.aux file. Remember, to
- get all the references properly integrated, you'll need to run
- Latex ->BibTex ->Latex -> Latex.
- (4) If there are ANY errors or warnings, you will get a "click here
- to terminate" dialog box. This allows you to scroll through the
- BibTex output window to look at the errors if you wish. Even if you
- don't look at the error message there, they are also written in
- the *.blg file that gets written each time BibTex is run.

- Version 1.1
- MacBibTex is smarter in looking for *.bst files. It follows a convention
- similar to Textures 1.01. To find the *.bst file, MacBibTex looks in
- the following locations:
- (1) The current directory (where the *.aux file was located).
- (2) A subdirectory called "BibTex inputs" (upper/lower case sensitive)
- under the folder where the MacBibTex application is located
- (3) A subdirectory called "Tex inputs" under the folder where the
- MacBibTex application is located
- (4) A subdirectory called "BibTex inputs" under the system folder
- (5) A subdirectory called "Tex inputs" inder the system folder
-
- With this search strategy, you can put all standard and personal *.bst files
- in a folder either under MacBibTex or in the system folder and MacBibTex wil
- find it irrespective of where your *.aux files are located.
-
- The file searching feature is extensible because it has been implemented as
- a string resource (STR# resource 130). Using a tool like Resedit, you can
- add or change the names of subdirectories where MacBibTex looks for *.bst files.
- In this resource, the number 0 refers to the directory where the *.aux file
- was located, the number 1 refers to the directory where MacBibTex lives, and
- the number 2 refers to the system folder.
-
- Thanks and credits to John Lundell at Stanford for adding this feature.
-
- Version 2.0
- MacBibTex 2.0 is essentially Version 1.1 with a real Macintosh interface.
- Also, MacBibTex does not automatically quit when finished. This was added
- for people who use multifinder and wanted to have MacBibTex stay around
- for multiple runs w/o having to relaunch the program each time.
