                   http://www.forkosh.com/arxivbib.html
          which is identical to  arxivbib.html  in your
          arxivbib.zip distribution file.


I.  QUICK START
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Installation:
       Download  http://www.forkosh.com/arxivbib.zip
       and then type
         unzip  arxivbib.zip
         cc  arxivbib.c  -o  arxivbib
       You're all done.

  Usage:
       Prepare  inputfile  in the form...
         quant-ph/9812037 \\ cite=Aha:99b \\ entry=article
         math.OA/0404553 \\ cite=Kribs:04
         etc
       Then enter the command
         nohup ./arxivbib  < inputfile  > outputfile  &
       and  outputfile  will be in the form...
         @article{Aha:99b,
           author        = "Dorit Aharonov",
           month         = "December",
           title         = "Quantum Computation",
           year          =  1998,
           eprint        = "quant-ph/9812037"  }
         @etc


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.
