I have uploaded xbibfile-0.7.tar.gz to the /incoming directory of ftp.tex.ac.uk for consideration for inclusion in CTAN.

I suggest it be located in CTAN at biblio/bibtex/utils. The package xbibfile is released under the GNU Public License.

Xbibfile is used to create and search BibTeX databases. It is written in C and uses the GTK graphics libraries to create its user interface. It was written under Linux using the X Window system. It was written out of my need for such a research tool and has performed satisfactory in that role. At some future stage I may get around to increasing its capabilities so some hooks are in place for doing that expansion. However, it is usable in its current state.

This is the first public release of this package. The 0.7 is a version number for my own records.

i have installed the contents of your .tar.gz in a new directory biblio/bibtex/utils/xbibtex, which is now set off to propagate.

thanks for the upload.
