		     Development log for bibjoin
		   [in reverse chronological order]

[16-Sep-1996]	0.02
		Extend code to do a fancier job of merging author
		and editor fields.  When a personal name appears in two
		forms, one with initials, and one without, such as
		"P. D. Q. Bach" and "Philippe D. Q. Bach", the names
		are considered to match, and the longer form is retained.
		In addition, to deal with the UnCover database practice
		of omitting authors 4, 5, ..., N-1, two author/editor
		personal name lists are considered to match if one
		has 3 names and the other more than 3, and the first,
		second, and last match as above; the longer form
		is retained.

[09-Jan-1996]	0.01
		Extend function same_entry() to check for page ranges of
		form "123--??" and "123--127", and drop the one with ??.
		Any number of queries can be present in the second part.
		This feature has been added because I've adopted the
		custom of marking entries with unknown final page
		numbers that way, and because the OCLC Contents1st
		database usually lacks final page numbers.  The result
		of a bibjoin on such data then produces lots of
		duplicate pages entries that this edit will prevent.
		

[19-Oct-1994]	0.00
		First working version of bibjoin, with much of the
		code, documentation, and Makefile adapted from biborder
		version 0.05.  Total working time for programming and
		documentation: 3 (blissfully uninterrupted) hours.
