                               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
