AudiLab Software

Reference-management software

This is a suite of programmes for maintaining and searching bibliographic databases.

Name	Description
refc	Create a new database
refa	Add references to database
refe	Edit/Extract (search by author or number)
refv	Invert (required before using REFS; run using REFBAT)
refs	Search (by author, title, keywords, etc.)
@refbat	Convert/Invert database (runs a batch job)
