NAME
       addbib - create or extend a bibliographic database

SYNOPSIS
       addbib [-a] [-p promptfile] database

DESCRIPTION
       When  addbib starts up, answering y to the initial Instructions? prompt
       yields directions. Typing n (or <RETURN>) skips the directions.	addbib
       then prompts for various bibliographic fields, reads responses from the
       terminal, and sends output records to database. A null  response	 (just
       <RETURN>) means to leave out that field. A `−' (minus sign) means to go
       back to the previous field. A trailing backslash allows a field	to  be
       continued  on  the next line. The repeating Continue? prompt allows the
       user either to resume by typing y (or <RETURN>), to  quit  the  current
       session	by  typing  n or q, or to edit database with any system editor
       (see vi(1), ex(1), ed(1)).

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -a	       Suppresses prompting for an  abstract.  Asking  for  an
		       abstract	 is  the  default.  Abstracts are ended with a
		       Control−D.

       -p promptfile   Uses a new prompting skeleton, defined  in  promptfile.
		       This  file  should contain prompt strings, a <TAB>, and
		       the key-letters to be written to the database.

USAGE
   Bibliography Key Letters
       The most common key-letters and their meanings are given below.	addbib
       insulates  you  from  these  key-letters, since it gives you prompts in
       English, but if you edit the bibliography file later on, you will  need
       to know this information.

       %B	Book containing article referenced

       %C	City (place of publication)

EXAMPLES

       Except  for  A,	each  field  should  be given just once. Only relevant
       fields should be supplied.
