+ BIBWEB
+
+bibweb is a utility for automatically retrieving bibliographical
+information from the American Mathematical Society's MathSciNet
+program. John Palmieri ("engineer") wrote bibweb, and Bill Dwyer
+("idea man") helped to design it.
+
+If you're too lazy to go to the library or use a web browser to find
+out bibliographical information for that ground-breaking paper you're
+writing, you can let bibweb do the work for you. You have to use
+bibtex (which means you have to use latex, I think), and you have to
+write citations in a particular format, but that's about it.
+
+See the file 'INSTALL' for installation instructions.
+
+See the file 'HOW_TO' for directions on the use of bibweb.
+
+This program is free software, distributed under the GNU General
+Public License; see the file 'COPYING' for more information.

+Here are the files in the distribution:
