Abstract:
BiblioText is a window- and mouse-based program for browsing
bibliographic data and related notes. It is designed for a personal
working environment characterized by indexed bibliographic data in
"bib", "refer", or "tib" format, along with online documents
containing imprecise citations that point into the
database. BiblioText assists the writing of papers with functions like
interactive keyword search and automatic generation of imprecise
citations; it also supports related tasks like tracking notes and
annotations in bibliographic data, building reading lists and
annotated bibliographies, and managing personal libraries. In an
appropriately configured data environment, BiblioText functions as a
hypertext browser, traversing imprecise citations (in the manner of
"bib") and named links in the bibliographic database (a BiblioText
extension).
This document supersedes an earlier version dated October 1988 and reflects changes to BiblioText since that time. Notable changes include a recent port to the X window system, using the XView toolkit, and a complete reorganization of the user interface.
