Bibtex is an ugly program, but MathSciNet gives references in BibTeX format, and this is what journals demand, so I cut and paste. It's been about 7 years since I had a plan9 machine as my main machine for work, and I probably won't go back to that, but if I did then a working version of LaTeX+BibTeX would be a requirement. -- John Stalker School of Mathematics Trinity College Dublin tel +353 1 896 1983 fax +353 1 896 2282
