For example, "ep" in Witten:1997ep. Of course, one has +to look on SPIRES to know them. However, eprint numbers, like hep-th/yymmxxx, +yymmxxx and yymm.xxxx, are also supported labels. This allows you to retrieve the +full record from just the arxiv numbers. +If no arxiv name is specified, the scripts will search hep-th by default. This behaviour +can be changed by editing the script. + +The scripts use awk, sed, lynx, bibtex and sometimes latex to generate the aux file. +(Note that this shell script runs only under *nix.) + +Further details inside the files. + +Let me know of suggestions, improvements at: +billnaai[~at~]gmail{-dot-}com + +1) Useage + +findbib [-a] filename.tex + +If the option -a is selected, the script will only add new citations.
