+isi2bibtex 0.40
+----------------
+
+Isi2bibtex converts an ISI (Institute for Scientific Information)
+bibliographic database file to a BibTeX file for use in TeX and LaTeX
+documents. Both formats hold bibliographic data on scientific and other
+academic documents.
+
+(In the UK, the ISI databases are commonly known as 'BIDS' or 'MIMAS WoS')
+
+See man page for detailed instructions.
+
+Installation:
+--------------
+
+ If you don't have Perl installed, it can be got (free) from
+ http://www.perl.com/ . LaTeX, BibTeX and everything else TeX can
+ be downloaded from http://www.CTAN.org/ .
+
+ Unix
+
+ set the first line of the script to point to your copy of perl
+ (eg. /usr/bin/perl or /usr/local/bin/perl)
+
+ make it executable (eg. chmod +x ./isi2bibtex)
+
+ put it somewhere your OS can find it (eg ~/bin or /usr/local/bin):
+ you may need to change your PATH environment variable
+
+ if you want, put the configuration file (isi2bibtexrc) in your home
+ directory (rename it as ~/.isi2bibtexrc first)
+
+ put the manpage (isi2bibtex.1) somewhere where man will find it
+ (eg. /usr/local/share/man/man1/), or just use the html or text
+ copies instead
+
+ Microsoft Windows
+
+ [Note: apparently some newer windows systems do not have a DOS shell
+ by default. If you find you don't have a shell, you will probably
+ have to install one - there are several free ones available.]
+
+ change the name of the script to isi2bibtex.pl (you'll have to use
+ it as
+ isi2bibtex.pl [OPTIONS] inputfile.txt [outputfile.bib]
+ rather than
+ isi2bibtex [OPTIONS] inputfile.txt [outputfile.bib]
+ because the windows DOS shell doesn't know about the #! line)
+
+ put it in your Perl bin directory, eg C:\Perl\bin (obviously if
+ you don't have perl installed, you need to do that first: see
+ below)
+
+ if that doesn't work check the PATH environment variable
+ contains your perl bin directory, and as a last resort try
+
+ perl C:\Perl\bin\isi2bibtex.pl inputfile.txt
+
+ if you want, put the configuration file (isi2bibtexrc) somewhere
+ and change the @CONFIG variable in the script to point to that
+ file.
+
+ Other platforms
+
+ I have no idea, but it should work on any platform that runs
+ Perl 5, perhaps with a few small modifications. Isi2bibtex has
+ been tested on Windows (95 and NT) and Unix. Please send me any
+ portability changes.
