%% /u/ftp/pub/bibnet/authors/index, Thu May 9 17:26:20 1996 %% Edit by Nelson H. F. Beebe %%---------------------------------------------------------------------- %% This directory of BibNet Project personal publication %% bibliographies contains subdirectories keyed from the initial %% letter of authors' last names. %% %% Subdirectories contain files identified by last-first-initial(s), %% with file extensions that indicate the contents: %% %% .bib BibTeX bibliography file %% .dvi TeX DVI file for the typeset bibliography %% .html HyperText Markup Language file, usually a translation %% of a BibTeX file to provide hypertext links %% .ltx LaTeX wrapper file for printing the bibliography %% .pdf Adobe Acrobat Portable Document File created from %% the PostScript file %% .ps.gz GNU gzip compressed PostScript file created from %% the .dvi file %% .sed UNIX sed script for converting old citation labels; %% this has been superceded by .sub files, because of %% capacity and speed limitations of sed. %% .sok spelling exception dictionary for .bib file %% .sub citation label substitution file for citesub (use %% for converting old (La)TeX files to new labels %% in the BibNet Project standard style, %% name:year:abbrev) %% .twx title-word cross-reference file input by the %% .ltx file %% %% The ordering of entries in the bibliographies is generally by year, %% and within each year, alphabetical by citation label. This gives a %% reasonable approximation to publication order, which is a suitable %% order for a personal publication bibliography. %% %% The ordering of the typeset bibliography is dictated by the style %% selected in the \bibliographystyle{} command in the .ltx file; in %% most cases, this is is-alpha, which produces a bibliography sorted %% by first author, then by year. If you want a typeset version in %% the same order as the entries in the bibliography file, just change %% the style to is-unsrt instead, and then retypeset like this: %% %% latex young-david-m.ltx %% bibtex young-david-m %% latex young-david-m.ltx %% bibtex young-david-m %% latex young-david-m.ltx %% %% To typeset the LaTeX files, you will need some additional LaTeX %% *.sty and BibTeX *.bst style files that are available in the %% ftp.math.utah.edu:/pub/bibnet/tools/examples directory. %% %% The is-xxx bibliography styles are extensions of the standard ones %% which support additional ISBN (International Standard Book Number), %% LCCN (Library of Congress Catalog Number), URL (Uniform Resource %% Locator), price, and pages fields. %% %% ISBNs have been in worldwide use by publishers since 1972; they %% contain four hyphen- (or blank-) separated fields which serve to %% identify the language group, the publisher and the book itself; the %% fourth field is a check digit in [0-9X] used to validate the ISBN. %% Bookstores and library catalogs can use ISBNs to locate a book more %% precisely than one can with just the usual author, title, and %% publisher information. %% %% URLs are a recent addition to the Internet: they are used by World %% Wide Web browsers in HTML (HyperText Markup language) files to %% locate resources. They look like %% resourcetype://Internet-hostname/pathname. %% %% Every bibliography entry contains a URL in its bibsource value %% pointing to the master bibliography from which the entry was %% extracted, so that any subsequent copying of entries into other %% bibliographies should maintain the origin, where the latest version %% may be expected to be found. %% %% A growing number of bibliography entries contain URL fields that %% point to electronic versions of the material, and some of the file %% headers in the .ltx and .bib files contain a URL to the author's %% home page on the Internet, where that information is available. %% %% The .dvi files can be viewed or printed using any DVI file %% previewer or translator; they require only the standard Computer %% Modern fonts present in every TeX distribution. %% %% The .ps files can be viewed with a PostScript viewer, or printed on %% any PostScript printer. They are somewhat large, so we have stored %% them in compressed form using GNU gzip (available on %% prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/gzip*.*, and easily buildable on any UNIX %% system; ports to DEC VMS and IBM PC environments are also %% available). gzip is produces better compression than UNIX %% compress, and free of the Unisys patent claim on the %% Lempel-Ziv-Welch algorithm in compress. To uncompress such a file, %% once gzip is installed, just do something like this %% %% gunzip young-david-m.ps.gz %% %% If you fetched the file via gopher or a WWW browser, instead of via %% FTP, the decompression should have been done automatically for you; %% if not, complain to your local gophermaster or webmaster. %% %% The reason that the PostScript files are large is that they contain %% Type 1 outline fonts, rather than bitmap fonts, thanks to the %% excellent work of Basil K. Malyshev. These fonts are available in %% the CTAN archives (do "finger ctan@pip.shsu.edu" for a list of sites). %% The advantage of Type 1 outline fonts over Type 3 bitmap fonts is %% resolution independence; especially in PostScript screen previewers, %% the font quality is noticeably improved by use of Type 1 fonts. %% %% If you want to view the PostScript files, we recommend use of an %% Adobe Acrobat reader (freely available on ftp.adobe.com for several %% personal computer and workstation architectures) on the .pdf file. %% This provides zoom, pan, string searching, printing of selected %% pages, and very rapid display, independent of the size of the .pdf %% file. %%---------------------------------------------------------------------- 00dir.cmd -- alphabetical verbose directory as FTP commands 00dir.lst -- alphabetical verbose directory listing 00tdir.cmd -- reverse time-ordered verbose directory as FTP commands 00tdir.lst -- reverse time-ordered verbose directory listing a -- authors whose names begin A... b -- authors whose names begin B... c -- authors whose names begin C... d -- authors whose names begin D... e -- authors whose names begin E... f -- authors whose names begin F... g -- authors whose names begin G... h -- authors whose names begin H... i -- authors whose names begin I... index -- this file index.html -- a derivative of the index file in HTML j -- authors whose names begin J... k -- authors whose names begin K... l -- authors whose names begin L... m -- authors whose names begin M... n -- authors whose names begin N... o -- authors whose names begin O... p -- authors whose names begin P... q -- authors whose names begin Q... r -- authors whose names begin R... s -- authors whose names begin S... t -- authors whose names begin T... u -- authors whose names begin U... v -- authors whose names begin V... w -- authors whose names begin W... x -- authors whose names begin X... y -- authors whose names begin Y... z -- authors whose names begin Z...
