+ | Convert a .ltb bibliography to .bib |

+
+Description
+===========
+
+This package implements a LaTeX command that converts an amsrefs
+bibliographical database (.ltb) to a BibTeX bibliographical database
+(.bib).
+
+The typical usage is to run LaTeX on a document such as
+
+\documentclass{article}
+\usepackage{ltb2bib}
+\begin{document}
+\writebib{bblsource}{bibdest}
+\end{document}
+
+This will convert the bibliographical entries in bblsource.ltb to
+BibTeX format, and write them to bibdest.bib.
+
+ltb2bib is the reverse of the "amsxport" option in amsrefs. Typical uses are:
+
+* produce bib entries for some publishers which don't accept amsrefs
+ (Taylor & Francis, for example);
+
+* import an ltb database in a database management program, e.g. for sorting;
+
+* access one's ltb database within emacs's RefTeX mode.
