" Refer to Bibtex Bibliography Conversion\n\nA refer-style database is of the form:\n\n%A Joe Blow\n%T Great Thoughts I've Thought\n%D 1977\netc.\n\nThis utility converts these kind of databases to bibtex form, for\nusers of TeX and LaTex. Instructions:\n1. Visit the file containing the refer-style database.\n2. The command\n M-x r2b-convert-buffer\n converts the entire buffer, appending its output by default in a\n buffer named *Out*, and logging progress and errors in a buffer\n named *Log*. The original file is never modified.\n Note that results are appended to *Out*, so if that buffer\n buffer already exists and contains material you don't want to\n save, you should kill it first.\n3. Switch to the buffer *Out* and save it as a named file.\n4. To convert a single refer-style entry, simply position the cursor\n at the entry and enter\n M-x r2b-convert-record\n Again output is appended to *Out* and errors are logged in *Log*.\n\nThis utility is very robust and pretty smart about determining the\ntype of the entry. It includes facilities for expanding refer macros\nto text, or substituting bibtex macros. Do M-x describe-variable on\n r2b-journal-abbrevs\n r2b-booktitle-abbrevs\n r2b-proceedings-list\nfor information on these features.\n\nPlease send bug reports and suggestions to\n Henry Kautz\n kautz@research.att.com\n allegra!kautz"
