II. INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
arXivBib, licensed under the gpl, retrieves abstract pages from arXiv.org
and reformats them as BibTeX entries. It saves lots of typing if you have
many such references to cite, but isn't worth the trouble if you only
have a few.
III. REVISION HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
11/30/05 J.Forkosh version 1.00 (alpha) released
IV. CONCLUDING REMARKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope you find arXivBib useful. If so, a contribution to your
country's TeX Users Group, or to the GNU project, is suggested.
