This script was written originally to take advantage of existing bibliography
databases written in BibTeX format. Macintosh users needed some way of 
transfering a BibTeX bibliography in text format so that is also supported.
This way users of other document preparation systems can still use the power
of BibTeX in formating their bibliographies. Also, entire bibliographies can be
printed by specifying keyword \@ (for those not running the latest version of
BibTeX).

Bibmake is a useful tool for keeping track of databases and formatting keyword
searches.

The manual entry discusses in more detail the operation of bibmake.
