 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)
