lookbibtex release 1.43 ----------------------- To install lookbibtex and bibdestringify, adjust the Makefile to any local peculiarities and type "make install". Lookbibtex is released under the GNU Public License, Version 1 (Feb 89). A copy of the GPL should be included with your Perl distribution. Release 1.1 (28-Nov-90) fixes three problems of release 1.0. End right curley brackets not in the first column were missed in 1.0. Umlauts and multi-line fields with curley brackets are now handled correctly. Release 1.2 (17-Jan-91) includes bibdestringify, a tool for replacing all strings in a bibtex file. To support this, it adds the -s option to lookbibtex. The speed in previous versions of bibdestringify was absymal. This release, release 1.3 (26-Aug-91) fixes this with an order of mangitude speed improvement. Documentation for both programs is also slightly improved. Notice that the -k flag to lookbibtex has been renamed to -f. Release 1.31 (27-Aug-91) fixes a couple of minor bugs. The @string pattern in bibdestringify is made a little more general (to allow c++, for example) [from Vick Khera ], and a bug in the lookbibtex man page is fixed [from wald@theory.lcs.mit.edu (David Wald)]. Release 1.32 (28-Aug-91) fixes the usage string in lookbibtex and improves the installation part of the makefile, both at the suggestion of Henk P. Penning . Release 1.4 (5-Sep-91) changes the order of the arguments to resemble grep(1). At the suggestion of Tim Wilson , when no bibtex file is specified, all files in your BIBINPUTS path are selected. Makefile now automatically sets perl script paths. Release 1.41 (11-Sep-91) Makes the bibdestringify matching a little more general, and fixes a bug in the makefile. Release 1.42 (29-Jan-92) Fixes a bug in handling of mixed-case @string's in lookbibtex at the suggestion of Dana Jacobsen . Release 1.43 (7-May-92) Added ftp site to README document. Perl is the very pratical extraction and report language from Larry Wall. It may be obtained by anonymous ftp from jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov in pub/perl.4.0, or by e-mail to Larry Wall . Lookbibtex is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.ucla.edu in pub/ficus. Any comments are welcome. -John Heidemann 29 January 1992
