+BibTeX support for TeXsis
+=========================
+
+TeXsis 2.17 will have basic support for BibTeX, which is an automated
+bibliography database tool for TeX.  This directory contains some
+supporting files which you will need (texsis.bst) or which you can use
+to test your installation (bibtest.tex and the files is uses).
+
+The file texsis.bst is a BibTeX style file which tells BibTeX how to
+output references in the TeXsis format.  You will need to have this
+somewhere on your system, either your working directory or the system
+area where bibtex looks for such things.  To tell bibtex to use this
+file you should include the command
+
+	\ReferenceStyle{texsis}
+
+somewhere in your TeXsis manuscript file (without the .bst extension).
+
+To tell BibTeX the bibliography (.bib) files it should scan, and to
+include any .bbl files bibtex has already created, use the
+\ReferenceFiles{} command, somewhere early in your manuscript file.
+(Note: LaTeX would have you do this at the end, with the \bibliography{}
+command, so this is different.)  For example, bibtest.tex uses
+
+	\ReferenceStyle{texsis}
+	\ReferenceFiles{unix,internet,mylist}
+
+to search unix.bib, internet.bib, and mylist.bib.
+
+To create a list of references you should use the TeXsis \ListReference
+command, as usual (see TeXsis manual).  After running TeXsis once, you
+should run BibTeX, and TeXsis again.  Done!
+
+You can try with the example file bibtest.tex:
+    
+    texsis bibtest
+    bibtex bibtest
+    texsis bibtest
+
+There is also a LaTeX example file, lbibtest.tex, but you have to run it
+through LaTeX *twice* after running bibtex.
+
+
+BibTeX support for TeXsis grew out of a patch to TeXsis by Bernd
+Dammann, which he called TXSbib.tex.  It is included here, but you
+should not need it after TeXsis 2.17.  However, you may find his notes
+useful (see the file README.TXSbib.tex), and you can get the complete
+TXSbib.tex package in one file, called txsbib.shar, if you really want
+it.  Bernd also created texsis.bst, so he deserves much thanks.  You can
+send him a nice note at bernd@fki.dtu.dk.
