%%%
%%% The September 1996 issue of Scientific
%%% American carried an announcement of the
%%% SciDEX CD-ROM with articles from
%%% 1948--1995. I purchased a copy, and have
%%% used it to add and/or correct several dozen
%%% entries in this bibliography; unfortunately,
%%% the index on that CD-ROM contains only
%%% initial page numbers (and often, no volume
%%% and issue numbers), and there is no way to do
%%% batch searching, so it is of limited utility
%%% for extending this bibliography.
%%%
%%% The initial draft of this bibliography was
%%% derived almost entirely from the OCLC
%%% Contents1st database. Additions were then
%%% made from all of the bibliographies in the
%%% TeX User Group collection, from the Uncover
%%% library database, from the Compendex
%%% databases (1970--1996), from the IEEE INSPEC
%%% 1989--1995 CD-ROM database, from
%%% bibliographies in the author's personal
%%% files, and from the computer science
%%% bibliography collection on ftp.ira.uka.de in
%%% /pub/bibliography to which many people of
%%% have contributed. The snapshot of this
%%% collection was taken on 5-May-1994, and it
%%% consists of 441 BibTeX files, 2,672,675
%%% lines, 205,289 entries, and 6,375
%%% <at>String{} abbreviations, occupying 94.8MB
%%% of disk space.
%%%
%%% Regrettably, the OCLC database does not
%%% record final page numbers of journal
%%% articles, so there are many page ranges of
%%% the form 123--?? in this bibliography. Also,
%%% the titles and page numbers for this journal
%%% in the OCLC database are often inaccurate.
%%%
%%% It is also troubling that different databases
%%% sometimes list completely different page
%%% number lists for the same article. This may
%%% arise from confusion between the national and
%%% international editions, both of which appear
%%% to have the same ISSN values. The SciDEX
%%% CD-ROM index sometimes shows separate
%%% starting page numbers for the international
%%% edition. When both page number ranges are
%%% available, they are encoded as ``81--85
%%% (Intl. ed. 40--44)''.
%%%
%%% Page ranges that are believed to correspond
%%% only to the international edition have
%%% entries with the journal value of
%%% j-SCI-AMER-INT-ED instead of j-SCI-AMER, but
%%% I expect that a number of entries attributed
%%% to the latter should be the former, and vice
%%% versa.
%%%
%%% These defects will be remedied if more
%%% reliable sources can be found.
%%%
%%% Numerous errors in the sources noted above
%%% have been corrected. Spelling has been
%%% verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell
%%% programs using the exception dictionary
%%% stored in the companion file with extension
%%% .sok.
%%%
%%% BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen
%%% as name:year:abbrev, where name is the
%%% family name of the first author or editor,
%%% year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a
%%% 3-letter condensation of important title
%%% words. Citation tags were automatically
%%% generated by software developed for the
%%% BibNet Project.
%%%
%%% In this bibliography, entries are sorted in
%%% publication order within each journal,
%%% using bibsort -byvolume.
%%%
%%% The checksum field above contains a CRC-16
%%% checksum as the first value, followed by the
%%% equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word
%%% count) utility output of lines, words, and
%%% characters. This is produced by Robert
%%% Solovay's checksum utility.",
