Summary description: updated r2bib to work with EndNote
License type: pd
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an upgrade for the existing r2bib C coding which
converts 'refer' bibliographies to BibTeX. The upgrade
handles EndNote (its more versatile tags) differently
and includes a filter for 8-bit Windows -> LaTeX characters.
The original filter r2bib.c has just be left as with
the 1990 version.

r2bib – Convert refer and EndNote files to BibTeX
R2bib and EndNote2bib read files (respectively in refer and EndNote format) and produces a BibTeX reference list on the standard output.
Since refer files are inherently unstructured, r2bib only does a passable job (for example, it may need to invent a key for an entry, and it has to guess what BibTeX entry type to generate).
EndNote tags may not always match those recognised by EndNote2bib; a further filter program EndNoteTag is provided
