NAME
addbib - create or extend a bibliographic database
SYNOPSIS
addbib [-a] [-p promptfile] database
DESCRIPTION
When addbib starts up, answering y to the initial Instruc-
tions? prompt yields directions. Typing n (or <RETURN>)
skips the directions. addbib then prompts for various
bibliographic fields, reads responses from the terminal, and
sends output records to database. A null response (just
<RETURN>) means to leave out that field. A `-' (minus sign)
means to go back to the previous field. A trailing backslash
allows a field to be continued on the next line. The repeat-
ing Continue? prompt allows the user either to resume by
typing y (or <RETURN>), to quit the current session by typ-
ing n or q, or to edit database with any system editor (see
vi(1), ex(1), ed(1)).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a Suppresses prompting for an abstract. Asking
for an abstract is the default. Abstracts
are ended with a Control-D.
-p promptfile Uses a new prompting skeleton, defined in
promptfile. This file should contain prompt
strings, a <TAB>, and the key-letters to be
written to the database.
USAGE
Bibliography Key Letters
The most common key-letters and their meanings are given
below. addbib insulates you from these key-letters, since it
gives you prompts in English, but if you edit the bibliogra-
phy file later on, you will need to know this information.
