By my estimate in another day or two I will have a version I'm willing to post to the list. > I still have about 30 > more iterations of Axiom builds before I've run merged and tested the > current queued changes so it will be a while yet.

The latex part is nothing fancy: latex cl-web-v0.5.lisp.tex bibtex cl-web-v0.5.lisp latex cl-web-v0.5.lisp.tex latex cl-web-v0.5.lisp.tex The files needed are: http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/litprog.bib and a required style file: http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/bib/bibnames.sty The former is explicitly public domain, the latter has no license or copyright statement at all - I doubt it would be a problem to use it but I should drop him an email to be sure. I'm currently using a test bst file but I'll switch it over to the plain one - no point in tackling too many issues at once. That's a point, actually - is there a bibtex style file that folks would regard as the "best" style to use for Axiom pamphlets? The graphic for the finite state diagram I suspect needs to remain in postscript format, as we don't want to add graphviz to the build requirements. I'm not quite sure how to handle that - perhaps include the dot source as an appendix? The command, for the record, is: dot -Tps -o finite-state-tangle.ps finite-state-tangle.dot I'd still like to find some way of organizing the bibliography so it is viewable by category, but doing so is highly non-trivial. The primary difficulty with not doing so is finding a way to quickly answer the questions "does Axiom's bibliography already have this paper in it" and "if it does, what is the string I use to cite it?" I suppose that's a problem for an editor more than anything - my admittedly crude attempt to create a system for divvying up the file by PACS and MSC2000 classifications is probably insufficient to cover all the needed categories, and the ACM Computing Classification System (1998) is copyrighted with usage terms that clearly would require specific permission to use it in something like this. (MSC2000 and PACS don't seem to say much about it one way or the other.) What we probably need in reality is an editor that allows convenient and fast searching of a very large bibliography by keyword/author/title/etc. This topic died back a while ago as very little truly literate work has been going on, but now that it's come up again can anyone recommend tools for dealing efficiently with very large bibliographies?
