All the files for TTIB are in the ZOO archive TIB.ZOO. Use ZOO from [89BVAXLT.TOOLS] to read the archive. Below is the READ.ME file from that archive. Following that is INTRO.TIB. The file INSTALL contains instructions for installing and testing Tib. The file FILE contains a complete list of files in the Tib package. The file NONUNIX contains a discussion of portability issues. The file CHANGES contains a record of changes since version 1.10. The file intro.tib contains an on-screen introduction to Tib. The file tibdoc.tex contains a 23-page plain TeX manual for Tib. Undocumented items --- mostly items which have been contributed by users and are not yet in the documentation. ieefll.ttz and ieeabb.ttz --- definition files for all IEEE journals not guaranteed to be "official" ones to use, include appropriate I command in tib file or alias tib with -i flag tibabb --- unix utility to look up journal codes (-i flag on grep seems to be sun specific) vitaMake, vita.tib, vita.ttx --- makefile and tib files to create vita or resume by eliminating oneself from authors Introducing T I B !!!!!!!! (drum roll) Tib is a preprocessor for TeX to insert citations and make bibliography lists. For a demonstration: 1. Copy the file AAAAA/test.ref into a directory. This is a database of references. 2. Apply the program tibdex to this file. This makes an inverted index (INDEX) to the reference file. 3. Copy the TeX file AAAAA/test.tex into the directory. This is a TeX file with keyword citations. 4. Apply the program tib to this TeX file (the .tex extension need not be part of the call). 5. The output file is another TeX file with complete citations and reference list. 6. Apply TeX as usual to this file. 7. For LaTeX, see the instructions in test.tex This call calls for default options. A large variety of formatting options is available. Some of them are: other fonts (old English, boldface ...), alphabetizing and other sorts, replacing successive listings of identical author(s) by underlines, other citation styles (3 letter codes from authors' names, authors' names and date, superscripts), reversing and/or abbreviating authors' names, capsmallcaps for names, hyphenating strings of references in citations, footnotes instead of endnotes, other listing formats. Any combination of these (and others) can be packaged in a format file and called with the -s (style) option. For demonstrations of some of these, repeat steps 4-6 with the following calls (for LaTeX, see the instructions in test.tex): tib -s demo1 tib -s demo2 tib -s demo3 (demo3l for LaTeX) tib -s demo4 tib -s demo5 tib -s demo6p (for plain TeX) tib -s demo6l (for LaTeX) Demo6 calls for footnotes; see the instructions in test.tex. Note that occasionally, reformatting or additional editing is called for. Tib is not meant to cover all possibilities. For complete documentation, there is a plain TeX source file AAAAA/tibdoc.tex. Apply TeX as usual to this file.
