         I've uploaded ftp.tex.ac.uk/incoming/arxivbib.zip ,
         which is a new package.

         As per your README.uploads instructions...
           + what you've uploaded
                arxivbib.zip
           + which CTAN node you've uploaded to
                ftp.tex.ac.uk
           + where you want the files to go
                support/arxivbib
                    (also, please  unzip arxivbib.zip README
                     and place that README file alongside
                     arxivbib.zip in the arxivbib directory)
           + what licensing conditions you apply to your software
                GNU GPL
           + brief summary of what your upload is intended to do.
              o arXivBib, licensed under the gpl, retrieves
                abstract pages from arXiv.org and reformats
                them as BibTeX entries.  It saves lots of
                typing if you have many such references to cite,
                but isn't worth the trouble if you only have a few.
              o please see
                     http://www.forkosh.com/arxivbib.html
                for a more complete discussion (arxivbib.html
                is also included in the arxivbib.zip file)

i've installed the new stuff as requested, and updated the catalogue.

users may browse the new package at:

http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/arxivbib/

(there's just the README and the .zip file containing the whole package).

thanks, john, for the upload.
