+
+i) r2bib and EndNote2bib convert refer and EndNote bibliography lists
+into the BibTeX format, respectively.
+
+ii) An auxiliary filter program dosToTex, also written in C, is included to ease the
+transition from PC/Windows 8-bit character representation (which presumably was
+the standard in the EndNote input files up to EndNote 8) to the backslashed
+escape sequences that are (more or less) the standard in BibTeX.
+
+iii) Another independent filter program, EndNoteTag, written in C++, is made available
+to change the tags in EndNote files or to convert RIS tags to EndNote tags.
+The main use is to re-map tags of an EndNote file on the fly if these do not
+match the tags within EndNote2bib.
+
+There are three auxiliary programs delivered in lex (flex) source format:
+
+iv) The program wileyEndNoteFilt recomposes author and editor tags of
+the input stream (an EndNote file) such that mutiple, comma-separated
+authors in single %E or %A lines are shuffled into multiple lines, each
+containg only a single person.
+
+v) The filter program ansel2uni transforms an input stream encoded according
+to the ANSEL specification to an UTF-8 character set. In a LaTeX environment,
+this is presumably a preprocessor to "recode u8..tex" to end up with a TeX encoding.
+
+vi) The filter program risDateAdj adjusts dates of non-standard
+formats in the Y1, PY and Y2 fields of RIS files. This is a preprocessor
+which patches these files prior to use with ris2xml(1), for example, and
+basically unrelated to EndNote bibilographies.

+HISTORY
+
+The program r2bib (the C source r2bib.c and troff manual r2bib.1) came from
+Rusty Wright, Center for Music Experiment, University of California San Diego,
+see ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/TeX/TeX-3.141/contributions/TeXcontrib/rusty/r2bib .
+Both files are included as existing in CTAN with a time stamp of 3 Oct 1990.
+(He started it!). This is left untouched except for #inclus'ion of two more C
+header files (plus removal of explicit declarations of malloc, realloc) to
+avoid gcc rejection of the source.
+A variant is in http://stuff.mit.edu/afs/athena/contrib/potluck/src/refer2tex/ .
