+.PP
+.PP
+\fIEndNote2bib\fP reads the ''files'' and produces a \fIbibtex\fP reference list (a \&.bib file) on the standard output\&. If no files are given, \fIEndNote2bib\fP reads standard input\&.
+.PP
+Since EndNote offers a LaTeX export style, use of this program makes only much sense if one wishes to handle EndNote bibliographies but does not have access to an EndNote installation\&.
+.PP
+Since EndNote files are inherently unstructured (compared to \fIbibtex\fP) \fIEndNote2bib\fP only does a passable job\&. In particular EndNote doesn't require a keyword, while \fIbibtex\fP does\&. The heuristic that \fIEndNote2bib\fP uses for cooking up a keyword, in order of precedence, is:
+.PP
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+Use the Label (%F) if it's only one word\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+Use the Call Number (%L) if it's only one word\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+Use the Keyword entry (%K) if it's only one word\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+Otherwise just use the string 'keyN' where N is the count of this bibliographic entry in the EndNote file(s)\&.
+.PP
+.PP
+There is no check that the BibTeX labels generated that way are all different\&.
+.PP
+To determine the type of reference that the EndNote entry is, \fIEndNote2bib\fP has to do some 'calculated guessing\&.' The heuristic used here (again, in order of precedence) is:
+.PP
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+If it has one of the following Referenc Types (%0), it is interpreted according to the table

+.IP "\(bu" 2
+If it has a journal entry (%J) then it's considered to be an @article\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+If it has a Secondary Title entry (%B) then it's considered to be an @inbook\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+If it has a report entry (%R) then it's considered to be a @techreport\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+If it has a issuer entry (%I) then it's considered to be a @book\&.
+.IP "\(bu" 2
+Otherwise it's considered to be a @misc\&.
+.PP
+.PP
+Quite often \fIEndNote2bib\fP will misguess and you will need to edit (by hand) the resulting \&.bib file\&.
+.PP
+Any fields that \fIEndNote2bib\fP doesn't know about it will ignore (and complain about it on stderr unless the -q option has been used)\&.
+.PP
+The main difference between \fIr2bib\fP and \fIEndNote2bib\fP is that \fIEndNote2bib\fP recognizes more tags that have been introduced in the EndNote document system\&. For a description see the source code in the file EndNote2bib\&.c\&.
