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 %%% 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)''. %%% %%% 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.
