A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite local mirror in a day or two.

Thanks again, Jim Hefferon

======================================================================

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: BibTeX Database Generator Author's name: Pallav Gupta Location on CTAN: support/bibtex-gen Summary description: A simple interactive script to generate BibTeX Files. License type: pd

Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just an interactive script that I use in my Latex work to generate Bibtex files. I do not like typing all the unnecessary details nor do I like copying and then modifying entries.

So I wrote this small script to help you type only what you need in your (customized) bibliographies and generate a file which contains all the extra info. I just wanted to share it. Who knows, some might find it useful.

Note that its not a bibtex file parser! I'll be happy to make improvments if someone (besides me) ever gets around to using it. You're welcome to email me to provide suggestions. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/bibtex-gen although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
