+This software is an attempt to provide a program that manages BibTex-Databases.
+Although there are a number of such attempts, I decided that I have to try to
+implement features that are not present in other programs. Since the most
+complicated part seemed to be the database-handling, I was happy to find the
+BibTool package by Gerd Neugebauer that did this for me. I merely added a
+graphical user interface.
+
+To install qbibman, you need Gerd Neugebauer BibTool package too from
+CTAN:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/utils/bibtool/BibTool-2.44.tar.gz
+
+Features
+
+- Browse lists for names and journals
+- Search using regular expressions
+- Automatic recoding of ISO-Characters to latex style*
+- Reading of Auxfiles*
+- Support for @string
+ to enter a reference to a @string use "@": e.g. you defined a string
+ @STRING{ssj="Some stupid journal"}
+ in your database, then you can refer to it by using "@ssj".
+- Automatic key generation*
+- Selection of multiple items with <Control> Left Mouse Button
+ Clicking without <Control> switches back to single item mode
+- Printing (parts of) the database with customizable latex file
+ In single item mode the whole database is printed otherwise only the
+ selected items
+ If there is a latex file ".qbibman" in your home directory, it will be
+ used for generating screen and printer output. Just put "%CITATION"
+ (no spaces) on a line by its own into the file. It will be replaced by
+ "\nocite{...}" of [selected | all] items and the command
+ "\bibliography{...}". If this file is missing, a simple default is used.
+- Keys of selected items can be put into X clipboard or into Lyx file (via Lyx
+ Server) using context menu (right mouse button click on the list).
+
+*These features are present in BibTool.
+
+The programm seems to be stable and does what I want. So I figured
+that there might be other people who would like to use it.
