To get BibTeX running you should: make sure you have all files listed
below, read the overview section (the first page) of BTXDOC.TEX, and
(if needed) create or procure a BibTeX change file for your system so
you can Tangle and compile BibTeX.  To test your implementation,
follow these simple steps (note: in what follows, the word `match' is
used loosely, because lines longer than 80 characters have been
broken manually in BTXDOC.AUX; thus, your system's file-compare
program may say the files are different even though they match):

(A) Run BTXDOC.TEX through LaTeX. You'll get a bunch of LaTeX warning
messages, and LaTeX will produce a BTXDOC.AUX file that will NOT match
the supplied file of that name.  NOTE: Don't let LaTeX "see" a copy of
the supplied BTXDOC.AUX or BTXDOC.BBL during this run.

(B) Run BibTeX on the BTXDOC.AUX file created in step (A).  BibTeX
will read in the supplied file BTXDOC.BIB.  This run should produce
a BTXDOC.BBL file that matches the suppled file of the same name;
BibTeX will give one warning message (about chicago).

(C) Run BTXDOC.TEX through LaTeX.  Again, you'll get some LaTeX
warning messages, but this time LaTeX will produce a new BTXDOC.AUX
file that DOES match the supplied file of that name.  This run will
read in the BTXDOC.AUX file produced in (A) and the BTXDOC.BBL file
produced in step (B).

(D) Run BTXDOC.TEX through LaTeX.  By reading the new BTXDOC.AUX file,
LaTeX will produce no warning messages, and you should get another
matching copy of the BTXDOC.AUX file.

IMPORTANT NOTE: After you get BibTeX running you should make sure that
all the documentation files listed below are available on your system,
and you should state in the _Local Guide_ exactly how to access them.
