%% Edit by Nelson H. F. Beebe <beebe@plot79.math.utah.edu>

[25-Nov-1994]	0.08
		Complete first working version of bibcheck in C,
		instead of awk, with ports to at least 28 architecture
		and compiler (C and C++) combinations.  The README
		file contains some pertinent comments about
		performance.  The amount of code in C is very much
		larger than the awk prototype, but the speedup over
		awk seems to be about 1.5 to 3, so it is not clear
		that it is worth the effort.  However, now that the
		work is done, the speedup will be appreciated by
		bibcheck users.

[12-Nov-1994]	0.07
		Collect multiline `key = value' settings before
		applying heuristic tests.

		Recognize comments with leading whitespace before %
		character. 

		Add exclamation point to check for bad punctuation.

		Add checks for duplicate keys.

		Allow tabs as well as spaces in all regexps (some were
		missed). 

		Don't flag uppercase letter followed by backslash as a
		case of period missing an initial, so that a name like
		G\'erard doesn't generate a bogus warning.

		Suppress math mode checks for bibsource and URL value
		strings; they usually contain file names, which may
		have underscores and other special characters.

		Change Makefile to use gawk instead of nawk; the
		latter too often gets `line too long' errors and quits
		prematurely. 

[11-Oct-1994]	0.06
		Add checks for duplicate labels and duplicate
		abbreviations. Add checks for brace-level zero commas
		in author/editor names.

[01-Oct-1994]	0.05
		Prepare distribution version, renamed to bibcheck,
		with man page, Makefile, etc.

[10-Sep-1994]	0.05
		Suppress check for unprotected ampersands in comments.
		Extend warning() to print first 45 characters of
		line, after stripping leading whitespace.

[06-Sep-1994]	0.03
		Add standard file header.  Add check for unprotected
		ampersand.  Add check for missing period after
		author/editor initials.  Extend math_mode() checks.

[27-Aug-1994]	0.02
		Add iscomment() function, and suppress check for
		ellipses (...) in comments

[25-Aug-1994]	0.01
		Original version [as awk program, chkmisc.awk].
