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.

bibtex – Process bibliographies (bib files) for LaTeX or other formats
BibTeX allows the user to store his citation data in generic form,
while printing citations in a document in the form specified by a
BibTeX style, to be specified in the document itself (one often
needs a LaTeX citation-style package, such as
natbib, as well).
BibTeX knows nothing about Unicode sorting algorithms or
scripts, although it will pass on whatever bytes it reads.
Its descendant bibtexu does support
Unicode, via the ICU library. The older alternative
bibtex8 supports 8-bit
character sets.
Another Unicode-aware alternative is the (independently developed)
biber program, used with the
BibLaTeX package to typeset its output.
