you mentioned that you were cataloguing yr. library. BIB.SAI[BIB,AJT]
is a program which prompts you for information, and makes up the
TFL file that is used by INDEX to reformat and keyword files for
the NS. MAKBIB shows you how to run index, READBIB allows you to
use the NS (these are both DO files on the same area)
To use BIB.SAI, copy it over, change the filenames &c, and load it.
When run, it puts stuff into a TFL file if one exists (formatted, with
`∂' as story delimiter) or makes a TFL file. Theeprompts it gives
should be self explanatory. If you want multi-line input to either the
TITLE or SOURCE, end all your lines except the last with `~'.
To exit, say <cr> to the Book,reprint,citation question. This program
saves the TFL file every five entries (untrusting, isn't it) and then
continues.
enjoy. a.
ps. remember - if you use this, you must NEVER edit the .TXT file that
INDEX generates - thats one reason why MAKBIB makes a separate copy called
.DOC
pps. I forgot - you also need a file called INUM.DAT in which the
sequence number is stored (start it out by making INUM.DAT just
containing a 1 (or 0, I can't remember and it doesn't matter)
