+Adds a `webpage' BibTeX entry type, and support for general `url' and
+`lastchecked' fields, to arbitrary BibTeX style files.
+
+    %%VERSION%% 0.1
+
+The Perl script urlbst.pl can be used to add this support to an
+arbitrary .bst file which has a reasonably `conventional' structure.
+The result is meant to be robust rather than pretty.
+
+    Usage: urlbst.pl [input-file [output-file]]
+
+if either the input-file or the output-file is omitted, they default
+to stdin and stdout respectively.  If the input file already has a URL
+entry type, then the script objects.
+
+For example:
+
+    urlbst.pl `kpsewhich siam.bst` siamurl.bst
+
+The distributed files abbrvurl.bst, alphaurl.bst, plainurl.bst and
+unsrturl.bst are versions of the standard style files which have been
+pre-converted.
+
+Only the style files which result from conversion of the standard
+styles are checked in the regression tests.  Other style files which
+are known to work include
+
+    acm.bst, amsalpha.bst, amsplain.bst, apalike.bst, gerabbrv.bst,
+    geralpha.bst, gerapali.bst, gerplain.bst, gerunsrt.bst, ieeetr.bst and
+    siam.bst
+
+Style files known not to work, because they are too different from the
+standard styles, include the koma-script styles and the refer styles
+(they are not designed to produce conventional .bbl files).  The
+natbib and revtex style files already have URL fields.  If you have a
+BibTeX style file which you think ought to work, but with which the
+script fails, send it to me, and I'll try to work out what I've missed.
