ROFFBIB(1)							    ROFFBIB(1)

NAME
       roffbib - run off bibliographic database

SYNOPSIS
       roffbib	[  -e ] [ -h ] [ -n ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -Tterm ] [ -x ] [
       -m mac ] [ -V ] [ -Q ] [ file ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Roffbib	prints	out  all  records  in  a  bibliographic	 database,  in
       bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes.  Generally it
       is used in conjunction with sortbib:

	      sortbib  database | roffbib

       Roffbib accepts most  of	 the  options  understood  by  nroff(1),  most
       importantly the -T flag to specify terminal type.

       If  abstracts  or  comments  are	 entered  following  the %X field key,
       roffbib will format them into paragraphs for an annotated bibliography.
       Several	%X  fields  may	 be given if several annotation paragraphs are
       desired.	 The -x flag will suppress the printing of these abstracts.

       A user-defined set of macros may be  specified  after  the  -m  option.
       There  should  be  a space between the -m and the macro filename.  This
       set of macros will replace the ones defined in  /usr/lib/tmac/tmac.bib.
       The  -V	flag  will send output to the Versatec; the -Q flag will queue
       output for the phototypesetter.

       Four  command-line  registers   control	 formatting   style   of   the
       bibliography,  much  like  the number registers of ms(7).  The command-
       line argument -rN1 will number the references starting at one (1).  The
       flag  -rV2  will	 double space the bibliography, while -rV1 will double
       space references but single  space  annotation  paragraphs.   The  line
       length  can be changed from the default 6.5 inches to 6 inches with the
       -rL6i argument, and the page offset can be set from the default of 0 to
       one  inch by specifying -rO1i (capital O, not zero).  Note: with the -V
       and -Q flags the default page offset is already one inch.

BUGS
       Users have to rewrite macros to create customized formats.
