+ BIBVIEW
+ (graphical interface for BibTeX program)
+ by Holger Martin, Peter Urban, Armin Liebl
+ liebla@informatik.tu-muenchen.de
+
+ The program "bibview" is a graphical interface for manipulating
+ BibTeX databases. It supports the user in making new entries,
+ searching for entries and moving entries from one BiB to another.
+ It is possible to work with more than one BiB simultaneously.
+ bibview is implemented with Xt and Athena Widgets.
+ There are six types of windows in bibview:
+ The main window contains menus for customizing bibview and
+ for working with BiBs on the file level.
+ The bibliography window (one for every open BiB) contains commands
+ for manipulating the BiB.
+ The list window (at most one for every open BiB) shows a list of
+ entries. It displays the fields author, title, type and year.
+ The card window (at most one for every entry) helps editing an entry.
+ It contains boxes for each field of the entry (according to the type).
+ The fields can be edited by putting the mouse cursor into the field.
+ Macros in fields and the symbol for concatenation ('#') are marked
+ with a preceding '@'.
