NAME
bibtex8 - 8-bit Big BibTeX version 0.99c
SYNOPSIS
bibtex8 [options] aux-file
DESCRIPTION
8-bit BibTeX is an enhanced, portable C version of BibTeX 0.99. It has
been enhanced in these areas:
- conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity
- capacity selectable at run time
- flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets
- well matched to LateX2e and its "inputenc" package
Oren Patashnik, the creator of BibTeX, is working on a new BibTeX 1.0
that will be a modern implementation supporting large capacities and
non-English languages (see TUGboat, pages 269--274, volume 15, number
3, September 1994). He is content for this version to be released, but
hopes that people will eventually migrate to BibTeX 1.0 when it is
released. Its release date is uncertain at the moment.
