NAME

       bibtex8 - 8-bit Big BibTeX version 0.99c

SYNOPSIS

       bibtex8 [options] aux-file

DESCRIPTION

       8-bit BibTeX is an enhanced, portable C version of BibTeX 0.99.  It has been enhanced in these areas:

       - conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity

       - capacity selectable at run time

       - flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets

       - well matched to LateX2e and its "inputenc" package

       Oren  Patashnik,  the  creator  of  BibTeX,  is  working  on  a  new  BibTeX  1.0  that  will be a modern
       implementation supporting large capacities and non-English languages (see TUGboat, pages 269--274, volume
       15, number 3, September 1994).  He is content for this version to be released, but hopes that people will
       eventually migrate to BibTeX 1.0 when it is released.  Its release date is uncertain at the moment.
