+Tib is a preprocessor for TeX to insert citations and make bibliography lists.
+For a demonstration:
+
+ 1. Copy the file AAAAA/test.ref into a directory.
+ This is a database of references.
+ 2. Apply the program tibdex to this file. This makes an inverted
+ index (INDEX) to the reference file.
+ 3. Copy the TeX file AAAAA/test.tex into the directory.
+ This is a TeX file with keyword citations.
+ 4. Apply the program tib to this TeX file (the .tex extension
+ need not be part of the call).
+ 5. The output file is another TeX file with complete citations
+ and reference list.
+ 6. Apply TeX as usual to this file.
+ 7. For LaTeX, see the instructions in test.tex
+
+This call calls for default options. A large variety of formatting options
+is available. Some of them are: other fonts (old English, boldface ...),
+alphabetizing and other sorts, replacing successive listings of identical
+author(s) by underlines, other citation styles (3 letter codes from authors'
+names, authors' names and date, superscripts), reversing and/or abbreviating
+authors' names, capsmallcaps for names, hyphenating strings of references
+in citations, footnotes instead of endnotes, other listing formats. Any
+combination of these (and others) can be packaged in a format file and called
+with the -s (style) option. For demonstrations of some of these, repeat steps
+4-6 with the following calls (for LaTeX, see the instructions in test.tex):
+ tib -s demo1
+ tib -s demo2
+ tib -s demo3 (demo3l for LaTeX)
+ tib -s demo4
+ tib -s demo5
+ tib -s demo6p (for plain TeX)
+ tib -s demo6l (for LaTeX)
+Demo6 calls for footnotes; see the instructions in test.tex. Note that
+occasionally, reformatting or additional editing is called for. Tib is
+not meant to cover all possibilities.
+
+For complete documentation, there is a plain TeX source file
+AAAAA/tibdoc.tex. Apply TeX as usual to this file.
