		with this modified source!!!!


Changes see CHANGES



	If you have anything to complain mailto 

		gumaroske@email.uni-kiel.de


PLATFORM:  
	Linux.2.0.27 from Redhat4.1 and a.out enabled




FEATURES:

	You are allowed to type special Charakters now instead of

	ae or /"a 

	use the original German characters 

(Great relief.......uaahhh)


SOURCE: 

	The original source code resides in ./src

INSTALL:

	Mainly what follows below, but some features are not 
	well described, especially the .bibviewrc - file.

	Configure the Imakefile if you need German

	Do 	xmkmf
		make
		make install
		make install.man

	Copy 	
		bibviewrc 	
	as 	
		.bibviewrc 	
	into your home-directory

	Be sure to make 	
		chmod 644 	
	on the file

USE:

	Configure the .bibviewrc - file to your needs 
	especially if you want a different latex header, 
	other sort-keys or similiar. The file is self-describing.

	Take a look at the
	app-defaults if you want to change the colors or stuff like this.

	Fire it up with
		 	bibview  	

	and have fun with it because it is worth a try!

	If you want to print your file, clicking on print creates a short
	Latex-file. Run Latex, Bibtex and Latex on it and get a dvi-file
	which can be printed. 

	I have disabled the file-testing at startup, which can be done in 
	the app-defaults-file "Bibview".




	Good luck

	Gerald

                               BIBVIEW 
            (graphical interface for BibTeX program)

What "bibview" is:
------------------

    The program "bibview" is a graphical interface for manipulating
    BibTeX databases. It supports the user in making new entries,
    searching for entries and moving entries from one BiB to another.
    It is possible to work with more than one BiB simultaneously. 
    bibview is implemented with Xt and Athena Widgets.
    There are six types of windows in bibview:
    The main window contains menus for customizing bibview and
    for working with BiBs on the file level.
    The bibliography window (one for every open BiB) contains commands
    for manipulating the BiB.
    The list window (at most one for every open BiB) shows a list of
    entries. It displays the fields author, title, type and year.
    The card window (at most one for every entry) helps editing an entry. 
    It contains boxes for each field of the entry (according to the type).
    The fields can be edited by putting the mouse cursor into the field.
    Macros in fields and the symbol for concatenation ('#') are marked
    with a preceding '@'.


Installing bibview:
-------------------

    bibview was tested on a HP 9000/710 running HP/UX, 
    DECstation 2100 and MicroVax II running ULTRIX and
    on a SUN running SunOS 4.1.
    To install bibview, type "xmkmf" and then "make". 
    Good luck!
    Note that there are different versions of db_tree.c
    db_tree.c uses <regex.h>, db_tree_regexp.c uses <regexp.h>
    If you have <regexp.h>, you have to rename db_tree-regexp.c to
    db_tree.c
    To create the German version, change the corresponding
    line of the Imakefile to
          #define German YES
    If you have problems with the FileSelectBox reporting
    "Action not found:...", then compile it with the
    flag -DACTION_PROBLEM
