%%%
%%% The September 1996 issue of Scientific
%%% American carried an announcement of the
%%% SciDEX CD-ROM with articles from
%%% 1948--1995. I purchased a copy, and have
%%% used it to add and/or correct several dozen
%%% entries in this bibliography; unfortunately,
%%% the index on that CD-ROM contains only
%%% initial page numbers (and often, no volume
%%% and issue numbers), and there is no way to do
%%% batch searching, so it is of limited utility
%%% for extending this bibliography.
%%%
%%% The initial draft of this bibliography was
%%% derived almost entirely from the OCLC
%%% Contents1st database. Additions were then
%%% made from all of the bibliographies in the
%%% TeX User Group collection, from the Uncover
%%% library database, from the Compendex
%%% databases (1970--1996), from the IEEE INSPEC
%%% 1989--1995 CD-ROM database, from
%%% bibliographies in the author's personal
%%% files, and from the computer science
%%% bibliography collection on ftp.ira.uka.de in
%%% /pub/bibliography to which many people of
%%% have contributed. The snapshot of this
%%% collection was taken on 5-May-1994, and it
%%% consists of 441 BibTeX files, 2,672,675
%%% lines, 205,289 entries, and 6,375
%%% <at>String{} abbreviations, occupying 94.8MB
%%% of disk space.
%%%
%%% Regrettably, the OCLC database does not
%%% record final page numbers of journal
%%% articles, so there are many page ranges of
%%% the form 123--?? in this bibliography. Also,
%%% the titles and page numbers for this journal
%%% in the OCLC database are often inaccurate.
%%%
%%% It is also troubling that different databases
%%% sometimes list completely different page
%%% number lists for the same article. This may
%%% arise from confusion between the national and
%%% international editions, both of which appear
%%% to have the same ISSN values. The SciDEX
%%% CD-ROM index sometimes shows separate
%%% starting page numbers for the international
%%% edition. When both page number ranges are
%%% available, they are encoded as ``81--85
%%% (Intl. ed. 40--44)''.
%%%
%%% Page ranges that are believed to correspond
%%% only to the international edition have
%%% entries with the journal value of
%%% j-SCI-AMER-INT-ED instead of j-SCI-AMER, but
%%% I expect that a number of entries attributed
%%% to the latter should be the former, and vice
%%% versa.
%%%
%%% These defects will be remedied if more
%%% reliable sources can be found.
%%%
%%% Numerous errors in the sources noted above
%%% have been corrected. Spelling has been
%%% verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell
%%% programs using the exception dictionary
%%% stored in the companion file with extension
%%% .sok.
%%%
%%% BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen
%%% as name:year:abbrev, where name is the
%%% family name of the first author or editor,
%%% year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a
%%% 3-letter condensation of important title
%%% words. Citation tags were automatically
%%% generated by software developed for the
%%% BibNet Project.
%%%
%%% In this bibliography, entries are sorted in
%%% publication order within each journal,
%%% using bibsort -byvolume.
%%%
%%% The checksum field above contains a CRC-16
%%% checksum as the first value, followed by the
%%% equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word
%%% count) utility output of lines, words, and
%%% characters. This is produced by Robert
%%% Solovay's checksum utility.",

evolutionary creativity simultaneously gave rise to the
basic body plans of all modern, multicellular animals.
Why fundamentally new designs for living creatures seem
not to have emerged from the evolutionary cauldron
since then is one of the great mysteries of biology.
Several possible explanations for the stability come up
