%% /u/ftp/pub/bibnet/tools/index, Sat Sep 20 10:53:35 1997
%% Edit by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>
%%
%% This directory, /pub/bibnet/tools (from tuglib: bibnet/tools),
%% contains subdirectories with bibliography support software, and a
%% BibTeX template file and LaTeX wrappers (*.ltx) to print the
%% bibliography.
%%
%% Files in the bibliography collection contain standard file headers
%% with checksum fields that include a CRC-16 checksum, followed by
%% counts of lines, words, and characters, such as would be produced
%% by the UNIX wc (word count) utility.
%%
%% The checksum values are produced by Robert Solovay's checksum
%% utility, which is written in CWeb.  It is available in the archive
%% files software/checksum-1-04.*.  The archives contain source code,
%% and in msc/checksum.exe file there is an IBM PC MS DOS executable
%% compiled with Microsoft C version 5.1.
%%
%% The file headers can be most easily generated by the GNU Emacs
%% functions in emacs/filehdr.el.  The checksums, date, and version
%% numbers can be easily updated with functions in that file. ISBN and
%% ISSN fields can be verified with functions in emacs/isbn.el.  The
%% files emacs/filehdr-1.22.* contain the GNU Emacs code and
%% documentation.
