Abstract ----------- This abstract is in a format suitable for inclusion in BBS description files (file_id.diz): (BibTeX8) "big" BibTeX with full 8-bit support An enhanced, portable C version of BibTeX. Enhanced by conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity, addition of run-time selectable capacity and 8-bit support extensions. National character set and sorting order are controlled by an external configuration file. Various examples are included. Freeware / GNU Public Licence. Niel Kempson Alejandro Aguilar-Sierra 1. Introduction ---------------- 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. 1.1 Big and Customisable Capacity --------------------------------- The original 16-bit code has been rewritten to use 32-bit data types wherever possible. The result is a very large potential capacity. To increase flexibility and to avoid BibTeX allocating all available memory, the capacity of some key arrays can be set on the command line. For convenience, several standard capacities have been predefined: default, big and huge. The key capacities are set as follows: Parameter Standard --big --huge --wolfgang ------------------------------------------------------------ Hash_Prime 4,253 8,501 16,319 30,011 Hash_Size 5,000 10,000 19,000 35,000 Max_Cites 750 2,000 5,000 7,500 Max_Ent_Ints 3,000 4,000 5,000 7,500 Max_Ent_Strs 3,000 6,000 10,000 10,000 Max_Fields 17,250 30,000 85,000 125,000 Max_Strings 4,000 10,000 19,000 30,000 Pool_Size 65,530 130,000 500,000 750,000 Wiz_Fn_Space 3,000 6,000 10,000 10,000 If these parameter names mean nothing to you, don't worry, you've probably never exceeded BibTeX's capacity. 1.2 8-bit Character Set Support ------------------------------- BibTeX now accepts 8-bit characters in its input files and writes 8-bit characters to its output files. The character set is defined by an external configuration text file - the codepage and sort order ("CS") file. The sort order can be defined for the language and character set. For example, in German, the control sequence \"o (o umlaut) should be sorted as if it were the letter "o", but after ordinary "o", leading to this order: Trofer, Tr\"ofer, Trufer However, in Swedish, \"o (o umlaut) is treated as the 29th letter of the alphabet and these entries would be sorted as: Trofer, Trufer, Tr\"ofer The sorting order is defined by an external configuration text file - the codepage and sort order ("CS") file. This version of BibTeX, coupled with LaTeX2e and its "inputenc" package provide a robust means of handling 8-bit character sets. 2. Distribution Kits and Where to Find Them -------------------------------------------- Note by TeX Live team - This section is an old description by the original author Niel Kempson. Currently (2022) BibTeX8 is shipped with TL. 8-bit BibTeX is distributed as a set of ZIP files created by the freely available implementation of ZIP by the Info-ZIP project. The files have all been compressed using the new "deflation" algorithm and can only be compressed using the Info-ZIP implementation of UNZIP, or PKUNZIP v2.04 or later. Ancient versions of PKUNZIP (e.g. v1.10) will not be able to unZIP the files and will complain with a message like: "PKUNZIP: Warning! I don't know how to handle: xxxxxxxx.xxx". The "official" version of 8-bit BibTeX will be available by anonymous FTP from the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN) sites: ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/8-bit ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/8-bit There are four main ZIP files in the complete 8-bit BibTeX distribution: bt###dos.zip bt###os2.zip bt###src.zip bt###csf.zip where ### is the latest version, currently 371 (for v3.71). Their contents and purpose are summarised below. 2.1 bt371dos.zip ---------------- The binary + documentation kit for MS-DOS users. It contains all you need to run 8-bit BibTeX under MS-DOS, but no source code. The executable program uses a 32-bit virtual memory extender called EMX to run in 32-bit mode. emTeX is probably the most comprehensive and capable implementation of TeX for DOS & OS/2 and it too uses EMX. The kit contains these files: 00readme.txt this file COPYING GNU copyright notice HISTORY summary of changes made so far csfile.txt documentation for codepage and sort order ("CS") files msdos/bibtex.exe the 8-bit BibTeX program EMX uses the VCPI mechanism to run in 32-bit mode and will therefore not run in a DOS session under MS Windows. It will run under native DOS and in a DOS session under OS/2. The EMX extender (v0.9b) is bound into bibtex.exe, but you can always obtain the latest version of EMX by anaonymous FTP from: ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/pub/systems/os2/emx-0.9b ftp.leo.org:/pub/comp/os/os2/gnu/emx+gcc If you want to run this version of BibTeX in a DOS session under MS Windows, you have two choices: - get and install the RSX extender. RSX is a DPMI-compliant DOS extender which is more or less compatible with emx. It is compatible with EMX, DPMI servers and DOS sessions under MS Windows. The official site for the latest version of RSX is ftp.uni-bielefeld.de:/pub/systems/msdos/misc but you can also get it by anonymous FTP from the same CTAN sites as BibTeX: ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/systems/msdos/dpmigcc ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/tex-archive/systems/msdos The files to look for are dpmigcc5.zip and rsxwin3a.zip If you use the emTeX implementation of TeX and friends, it may be more convenient to get the "emxrsx" package - it's a minimal version of RSX to allow emTeX to run in DOS sessions under MS Windows. It is available by anonymous FTP from CTAN sites in the emTeX directory: ftp.tex.ac.uk:/tex-archive/systems/msdos/emtex ftp.uni-stuttgart.de:/tex-archive/systems/msdos/emtex On the other hand, if you're using emTeX under MS Windows, you've probably solved the problem already :-) - get the djgpp GNU C compiler and DOS extender package and build BibTeX from the source code. The master site for djgpp is ftp.delorie.com. 2.2 bt371os2.zip ---------------- The binary + documentation kit for OS/2 2.x and 3.x users. It contains all you need to run 8-bit BibTeX under OS/2, but no source code. The executable program was developed using the EMX development system and has its run-time library linked in - there is no need to install EMX just to run BibTeX. If you already have EMX installed want a smaller executable, you'll need to rebuild from sources. The kit contains these files: 00readme.txt this file COPYING GNU copyright notice HISTORY summary of changes made so far csfile.txt documentation for codepage and sort order ("CS") files os2/bibtex.exe the 8-bit BibTeX program 2.3 bt371src.zip ---------------- The complete source code kit to build 8-bit BibTeX on all supported systems. The source code is known to build easily under MS-DOS and OS/2 if you have the GNU C Compiler installed. The source code is quite portable and contains almost no system-specific items - it should very easily port to Unix or VMS. If you decide to port 8-bit BibTeX to another platform, please let me know so that I can include your efforts in the master distribution. The source kit contains these files: 00readme.txt this file COPYING GNU copyright notice HISTORY summary of changes made so far csfile.txt documentation for codepage and sort order ("CS") files bibtex.h definition of global parameters and limits datatype.h definition of custom data types gblprocs.h forward declaration of all global functions gblvars.h declaration of global variables sysdep.h determine the compiler and environment bibtex.c main source including system dependent code bibtex-1.c part 1 of the system independent functions bibtex-2.c part 2 of the system independent functions bibtex-3.c part 3 of the system independent functions bibtex-4.c part 4 of the system independent functions utils.c nearly all of the enhancement code utils.h getopt.c the GNU getopt package for command line parsing getopt1.c getopt.h dos-emx.mak makefile for EMX GNU C under MS-DOS dos-dj.mak makefile for DJGPP GNU C under MS-DOS os2.mak makefile for EMX GNU C under OS/2 unix.mak makefile for Unix variants 2.4 bt371csf.zip ---------------- The character set and sorting order is now defined by an external configuration text file - the codepage and sort order ("CS") file. A number of example files have been included with the master distribution, but I hope that others will be written by 8-bit BibTeX users in due course. To avoid the need to reissue to the master ZIP files every time a new CS file is created, CS files will also be available as a separate kit. At the time of writing, the kit contains these CS files: File Name Character Set Sorting Order ------------------------------------------------------------- 88591lat.csf ISO 8859-1 Latin 88591sca.csf ISO 8859-1 Scandinavean ascii.csf US ASCII English cp437lat.csf IBM codepage 437 Latin cp850lat.csf IBM codepage 850 Latin cp850sca.csf IBM codepage 850 Scandinavean cp866rus.csf IBM codepage 866 Russian 3. Running 8-bit BibTeX ------------------------ Running 8-bit BibTeX is superficially the same as running the original BibTeX, but there are quite a number of command line options that may be specified. 3.1 Command line options ------------------------ The command line syntax is: bibtex [options] aux-file where "aux-file" is the name of the TeX auxilliary output file to be processed by BibTeX. The trailing ".aux" may be omitted. Valid options are: -? --help Display some brief help text and then exit. -7 --traditional Operate in the original 7-bit mode. A CS file is not read: only 7-bit ASCII characters are supported and sorting is strictly by ASCII code value. BibTeX will not allow you to specify --traditional with either the --8bit or --csfile option. -8 --8bit Force 8-bit mode. A CS file is not read. All 8-bit characters (code > 127) are treated as letters and sorting is strictly by code page value. BibTeX will not allow you to specify --8bit with either the --csfile or --traditional option. -c --csfile FILE Read FILE as the BibTeX codepage and sort definition (CS) file. The CS file is used to define the 8-bit character set used by BibTeX and the order in which those characters should be sorted. BibTeX will not allow you to specify --csfile with either the --8bit or --traditional option. -d --debug TYPE Report debugging information to the BibTeX log file and the standard error device. The value TYPE controls the type of debugging information reported. TYPE can be one or more of: all - all debugging categories csf - CS file processing io - file I/O mem - memory allocation and capacity misc - other debugging information search - path searching and file location It is possible that your version of BibTeX has been compiled with debugging support disabled. If this is the case, BibTeX will issue a warning message when --debug is specified. -s --statistics Report internal statistics to the BibTeX log file. It is possible that your version of BibTeX has been compiled with statistics support disabled. If this is the case, BibTeX will issue a warning message when --statistics is specified. -t --trace Report execution tracing to the BibTeX log file. It is possible that your version of BibTeX has been compiled with tracing support disabled. If this is the case, BibTeX will issue a warning message when --trace is specified. -v --version Report BibTeX's version and then exit. -B --big Set BibTeX's capacity to "big". The size of particular parameters will be set as follows (the default sizes are shown in brackets): Hash_Prime 8,501 (4,253) Hash_Size 10,000 (5,000) Max_Cites 2,000 (750) Max_Ent_Ints 4,000 (3,000) Max_Ent_Strs 6,000 (3,000) Max_Fields 30,000 (17,250) Max_Strings 10,000 (4,000) Pool_Size 130,000 (65,530) Wiz_Fn_Space 6,000 (3,000) -H --huge Set BibTeX's capacity to "huge". The size of particular parameters will be set as follows (the default sizes are shown in brackets): Hash_Prime 16,319 (4,253) Hash_Size 19,000 (5,000) Max_Cites 5,000 (750) Max_Ent_Ints 5,000 (3,000) Max_Ent_Strs 10,000 (3,000) Max_Fields 85,000 (17,250) Max_Strings 19,000 (4,000) Pool_Size 500,000 (65,530) Wiz_Fn_Space 10,000 (3,000) -W --wolfgang Set BibTeX's capacity to "really huge" - required for Wolfgang's PhD thesis. The size of particular parameters will be set as follows (the default sizes are shown in brackets): Hash_Prime 30,011 (4,253) Hash_Size 35,000 (5,000) Max_Cites 7,500 (750) Max_Ent_Ints 7,500 (3,000) Max_Ent_Strs 10,000 (3,000) Max_Fields 125,000 (17,250) Max_Strings 30,000 (4,000) Pool_Size 750,000 (65,530) Wiz_Fn_Space 10,000 (3,000) -M --min_crossrefs ## Set min_crossrefs to ##. If an item is cross-referenced at least ## times, it will be placed in the list of citations, even if it is not explicitly \cited as a reference. The default value is 2. --mcites ## Allow a maximum of ## distinct \cites in the .aux files. This number must be less than the maximum number of strings (settable with --mstrings). --mentints ## Allow a maximum of ## integer entries in the .bib databases. --mentstrs ## Allow a maximum of ## string entries in the .bib databases. --mfields ## Allow a maximum of ## fields in the .bib databases. --mpool ## Set the string pool to ## bytes. --mstrings ## Allow a maximum of ## unique strings. This number must be less than the hash size and greater than the maximum number of \cites (settable with --mcites). --mwizfuns ## Allow a maximum of ## wizard functions. 3.2 Finding Files ----------------- 8-bit BibTeX looks for input files in three different steps as summarised below. As soon as 8-bit BibTeX finds a matching file, it stops looking (i.e. only the first matching file is used). In order, the three steps are: - look for the file in the current working directory. - if the appropriate environment variable has been set (e.g. BSTINPUT), treat its value as a list of directories to be searched. Look for the file in each of the directories in the list. - if the appropriate environment variable (e.g. BSTINPUT) has not been set, use a predefined "fallback" path as a list of directories to be searched. A search list consists of a number of directories separated by a delimiter (semicolons for MS-DOS & OS/2, colons for Unix and commas for VMS). As distributed, the strategy adopted by 8-bit BibTeX for opening specific file types is .aux files - look in current working directory only .bib (BibTeX database) files - look in current working directory - search along path defined by environment variable BIBINPUT - search along fallback path (empty by default) .bst (BibTeX style) files - look in current working directory - search along path defined by environment variable BSTINPUT - search along fallback path (empty by default) .csf (CS) files - look in current working directory - search along path defined by environment variable CSFINPUT - search along fallback path (empty by default) The name of the CS file is determined using a number of steps - use value of --csfile command line option, - use value of the BIBTEX_CSFILE environment variable - use fallback CS file name (empty by default) Output files All of BibTeX's output (.bbl, .blg) files are created in the current working directory. The environment variables and fallback paths used by 8-bit BibTeX are defined in the Makefile and set at compile time, but you can determine what your version of 8-bit BibTeX is using by starting it with the command line bibtex --debug=search non-existent-file-name The debugging output (written to the standard error device) should look something like: D-SCH: Search strategy for .aux files: D-SCH: search path environment variable: D-SCH: fallback search path: D-SCH: Search strategy for .bib files: D-SCH: search path environment variable: BIBINPUT D-SCH: BIBINPUT value: e:\usr\c\bibtex D-SCH: fallback search path: e:/usr/latex/bibtex;e:/emtex/bibtex/bib D-SCH: Search strategy for .bst files: D-SCH: search path environment variable: BSTINPUT D-SCH: BSTINPUT value: D-SCH: fallback search path: e:/usr/latex/bibtex;e:/emtex/bibtex/bst D-SCH: Search strategy for .csf files: D-SCH: search path environment variable: CSFINPUT D-SCH: CSFINPUT value: e:\usr\c\bibtex D-SCH: fallback search path: e:/usr/latex/bibtex;e:/emtex/bibtex/csf D-SCH: Default .csf file: D-SCH: file name environment variable: BIBTEX_CSFILE D-SCH: BIBTEX_CSFILE value: e:/emtex/texinput/cp437lat.csf D-SCH: fallback file name: cp850lat.csf The current working directory will always be searched, even if the environment variable and fallback paths have not been specified (e.g. as for .aux files in the above example). If the default behaviour is not to your liking, you will need to rebuild 8-bit BibTeX from its source code (see section 5). 3.3 Environment variables ------------------------- As supplied, 8-bit BibTeX uses a number of environment variables: BIBINPUT search path for database (.bib) files BSTINPUT search path for style (.bst) files CSFINPUT search path for CS (.csf) files BIBTEX_CSFILE the default CS file TMP directory for virtual memory files (DOS only) The name of the environment variables used may be changed (in the Makefile) when BibTeX is built. See the appropriate Makefile for your environment and remember that you can use the "--debug=search" command line option to reveal the environment variables used by your version of 8-bit BibTeX (see previous section). All environment variables used as a search list (BIBINPUT, BSTINPUT & CSFINPUT) can be set to a number of separate directories, separated by a delimiter (semicolons for MS-DOS & OS/2, colons for Unix and commas for VMS). Examples for MS-DOS and OS/2 are: SET BIBINPUT=e:\data\tex\bibtex;c:\emtex\bibtex\bib SET BSTINPUT=e:\data\tex\bibtex;c:\emtex\bibtex\bst SET CSFINPUT=e:\data\tex\bibtex SET BIBTEX_CSFILE=c:\data\tex\bibtex\cp850lat.csf Examples for Unix: setenv BIBINPUT /u/kempson/bibtex:/usr/local/lib/tex/bib-files setenv BSTINPUT /u/kempson/bibtex:/usr/local/lib/tex/bst-files setenv CSFINPUT /u/kempson/bibtex:/usr/local/lib/tex/csf-files setenv BIBTEX_CSFILE /usr/local/lib/tex/csf-files/88591lat.csf Examples for VMS: define BIBINPUT "sys$login:,disk$tex:[bibtex.bib-files]" define BSTINPUT "sys$login:,disk$tex:[bibtex.bst-files]" define CSFINPUT "sys$login:,disk$tex:[bibtex.csf-files]" define BIBTEX_CSFILE disk$tex:[bibtex.csf-files]88951lat.csf 4. The Codepage and Sort Order (CS) File ----------------------------------------- The Codepage and Sort definition (CS) file is used to define the 8-bit character set used by BibTeX and the order in which those characters should be sorted. Please see the associated csfile.txt for details of CS file syntax and guidelines for testing new CS files. NOTE: it contains many 8-bit characters and may cause problems if you try to display or print it on 7-bit systems (e.g. older versions of Unix). 5. Building 8-bit BibTeX from Source Code ------------------------------------------ The 8-bit BibTeX source is fairly standard ANSI C with almost no system specific code. It should therefore be relatively straightforward to build it in a different environment if you have GNU C or an ANSI C compiler. A number of Makefiles have been provided to build 8-bit BibTeX from source code: dos-emx.mak makefile for EMX GNU C under MS-DOS dos-dj.mak makefile for DJGPP GNU C under MS-DOS os2.mak makefile for EMX GNU C under OS/2 unix.mak makefile for Unix variants Whichever Makefile you use, you need to check that the "local definitions" are appropriate for your system. There are three small sections to customise: BibTeX File Searching - specifies the names of environment variables and paths to be used when searching for input files Utility Programs - specifies the names of programs to be used for simple functions Compiler/Linker - specifies compiler/linker command lines If your system is already supported it should not be necessary to modify any part of the Makefile except these three sections. Brief notes for specific environments follow. 5.1 DOS ------- 8-bit BibTeX has been built and tested using the EMX and DJGPP development environments. Both are based on GNU C with their own custom 32-bit extenders. 5.2 OS/2 -------- The EMX development environment is supported. 5.3 Unix -------- Most variants of Unix supporting GNU C should be capable of building and running 8-bit BibTeX. 5.4 VMS ------- The authors have not built or tested this version of 8-bit BibTeX on VMS, but see no reason why it shouldn't compile and run successfully if GNU C is installed on the system. (The only system-dependent code in 8-bit BibTeX concerns file opening and provision has been made for VMS file modes.) If you have GNU C installed, we recommend starting with a copy of the unix.mak Makefile and customising it for VMS. If you successfully get 8-bit BibTeX running under VMS, *please* let the authors know how you did it. 6. Reporting Bugs and Requesting Improvements ---------------------------------------------- Where possible, we will try to fix bugs and will consider requests for improvements. If you are reporting a bug, please provide as much information as possible (e.g. operating environment, 8-bit BibTeX version and source, exact error message and the offending files if possible). The most common message is of the form "BibTeX doesn't work on XXXX". This is generally of no help in debugging a problem so please provide as much information as possible. 6.1 Contacting the authors -------------------------- The authors are Niel Kempson Snowy Owl Systems Limited, Cheltenham, England E-mail: kempson@snowyowl.co.uk and Alejandro Aguilar-Sierra Centro de Ciencias de la Atm\'osfera, Universidad Nacional Aut\'onoma de M\'exico, M\'exico E-mail: asierra@servidor.unam.mx Niel Kempson did the original manual translation from WEB to C, conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity, addition of run-time selectable capacity and part of the 8-bit support extensions. He intermittently maintains the master version of the source code. Alejandro Aguilar-Sierra should take the credit for most of the 8-bit function provided by this version of BibTeX. 6.2 Further Enhancements ------------------------ No program is perfect and this version of BibTeX is no exception to that rule. Some known weaknesses are: - the 8-bit support is currently limited to single 8-bit characters. TeX control sequences (e.g. \'{A}) are not interpreted and treated in the same way as the equivalent 8-bit character. - it is not possible to redefine the lower 128 character codes. This excludes support for character codes not built on ASCII (e.g. EBCDIC). Future enhancements will be considered, but it may be time to build a "proper" system built from the ground up to handle 8-bit character sets. BibTeX 1.0 promises to be this system. Other items that ought to be on the "to do" list: - path searching using Karl Berry's kpathsea package - TeX format documentation - Unix man pages - OS/2 .inf format documentation - native 32-bit support for MS Windows 95/NT 7. Frequently Asked Questions ------------------------------ When I run the DOS version 8-bit BibTeX in a DOS window under MS Windows 3.x, 95 or NT, I get the message "DPMI not supported". 8-bit BibTeX has been built using the EMX development environment. It uses the VCPI mechanism to run in 32-bit mode and will therefore not run in a DOS session under MS Windows. If you want to run this version of 8-bit BibTeX in a DOS session under MS Windows, you have two choices: - get and install the RSX extender - rebuild from sources using a suitable compiler See section 2.1 for more information. 8-bit BibTeX doesn't find my .bib/.bst files. How can I find out where it looks for them? See section 3.2 There isn't a CS file for my character set / language sorting order Creating a new CS file should be relatively straightforward. If you'd like to try, please contact the authors for assistance. If you don't need assistance, *please* let us have a copy of your finished CS file so we can include it in the distribution. 8. Acknowledgement ------------------- The original BibTeX was written by Oren Patashnik using Donald Knuth's WEB system. This format produces a PASCAL program for execution and a TeX documented version of the source code. This program started as a (manual) translation of the WEB source into C. 9. BibTeX Use and Copying Conditions ------------------------------------- The programs currently being distributed that relate to 8-bit BibTeX are *free*; this means that everyone may use them and redistribute them freely. The 8-bit BibTeX-related programs are not in the public domain; they are copyrighted and there are restrictions on their distribution, but these restrictions are designed to permit everything that a good cooperating citizen would want to do. What is not allowed is to try to prevent others from further sharing any version of these programs that they might get from you. Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give away copies of the programs that relate to 8-bit BibTeX, that you receive source code or else can get it if you want it, that you can change these programs or use pieces of them in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things. To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute copies of the 8-bit BibTeX related programs, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must tell them their rights. Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone finds out that there is no warranty for the programs that relate to 8-bit BibTeX. If these programs are modified by someone else and passed on, we want their recipients to know that what they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on our reputation. The precise conditions of the licences for the programs currently being distributed that relate to 8-bit BibTeX are found in the General Public Licences that accompany them. 10.
