References v4.3d released

Volker Kiefel — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 18:34:29 -0000

REFERENCES is bibliographic software for authors of
scientific manuscripts and for management of
bibliographic data. The current version of REFERENCES
is provided with a text based console interface for
Linux and win32-systems.

Installation of the win32 port of references requires
r43d.zip or r43d.exe (r43d.exe is a self extracting
archive identical with r43d.zip).

Installation of the linux port requires both
refs-4.3d-rt.tar.gz (runtime files and documentation
including the manual refsdok.pdf) and
refs-4.3d-src.tar.gz (the sourcecode to build the
binaries). For details on the building and installation
process users should refer to References manual
(refsdok.pdf).

Updated and new bibliographic and macro format
definitions are made available on the project homepage:

http://references.sourceforge.net

Changes in v4.3d:

For books, the ISBN field has been enlarged to 20
characters due to the change of the international
standard book number format in 2007.

Linux version only: menu options in square brackets may
now be highlighted (controlled by the ENABLE_HL
variable in the configuration file).

A new awk script ``emptylines.awk'' added: removes
empty lines from a text file.

Bugfix: incorrect assessment of string length (Linux
systems with utf-8 encoding) fixed.

All changes and recommendations for use of the new
version may be found in the history.txt document. The
manual (refsdok.pdf) has been updated.
