Subject: Editing BibTeX files w/ EDB

Some time ago someone asked about a BibTeX interface for EDB.  Since
there was no response and I would also like to have something of this
sort, I hacked a first approximation over the holidays.

        * It's rough.
        * It has no documentation.
        * I have made almost no efforts to parse general BibTeX files,
          just the subset I use (or rather a subset thereof).

        * ... but it might be better than nothing.

I have put it up for anonymous ftp on `chico.harvard.edu' in the
directory `pub'.  The code is in `btxdb-0.3.tar.Z'.  The file
`bibtex.dat' serves as an example database.

[ As of early 1994, the definitive place to get the latest version was
  ftp://crunch.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de/pub/ohl/misc/btxdb-0.6.tar.gz
]

Comments, suggestions, and code are welcome.  But I can make no
support commitments ...

Happy GNU Year,
