+lookbibtex release 1.43
+-----------------------
+
+To install lookbibtex and bibdestringify, adjust the Makefile
+to any local peculiarities and type "make install".
+
+Lookbibtex is released under the GNU Public License, Version 1 (Feb 89).
+A copy of the GPL should be included with your Perl distribution.
+
+Release 1.1 (28-Nov-90) fixes three problems of release 1.0. End
+right curley brackets not in the first column were missed in 1.0.
+Umlauts and multi-line fields with curley brackets are now handled
+correctly.
+
+Release 1.2 (17-Jan-91) includes bibdestringify, a tool for replacing all
+strings in a bibtex file. To support this, it adds the -s option
+to lookbibtex.
+
+The speed in previous versions of bibdestringify was absymal. This
+release, release 1.3 (26-Aug-91) fixes this with an order of mangitude
+speed improvement. Documentation for both programs is also slightly
+improved. Notice that the -k flag to lookbibtex has been renamed to -f.
+
+Release 1.31 (27-Aug-91) fixes a couple of minor bugs. The @string
+pattern in bibdestringify is made a little more general (to allow c++,
+for example) [from Vick Khera <khera@cs.duke.edu>], and a bug in the
+lookbibtex man page is fixed [from wald@theory.lcs.mit.edu (David Wald)].
+
+Release 1.32 (28-Aug-91) fixes the usage string in lookbibtex
+and improves the installation part of the makefile, both at
+the suggestion of Henk P. Penning <henkp@cs.ruu.nl>.
+
+Release 1.4 (5-Sep-91) changes the order of the arguments to resemble grep(1).
+At the suggestion of Tim Wilson <Tim.Wilson@cl.cam.ac.uk>,
+when no bibtex file is specified, all files in your BIBINPUTS path
+are selected. Makefile now automatically sets perl script paths.
+
+Release 1.41 (11-Sep-91) Makes the bibdestringify matching a little more
+general, and fixes a bug in the makefile.
+
+Release 1.42 (29-Jan-92) Fixes a bug in handling of mixed-case @string's
+in lookbibtex at the suggestion of Dana Jacobsen <jacobsd@frisby.cs.orst.edu>.
+
+Release 1.43 (7-May-92) Added ftp site to README document.
+
+Perl is the very pratical extraction and report language from Larry
+Wall. It may be obtained by anonymous ftp from
+jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov in pub/perl.4.0, or by e-mail to Larry Wall
+<lwall@jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov>.
+
+Lookbibtex is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.ucla.edu in
+pub/ficus.
+
+Any comments are welcome.
