NAME
bibtex8 - 8-bit Big BibTeX
SYNOPSIS
bibtex8
[options] aux-file
DESCRIPTION
BibTeX8
is an 8-bit implementation of BibTeX written in C.
It has been enhanced by adding the following features:
- "big" (32-bit) and customisable capacity
- flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets
BibTeX8
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 file --- the Codepage and Sort order ("CS") file.
By default, it reads a specific CS file "88591lat.csf", which defines
ISO 8859-1 character set and its alphabetical sorting order including
accented characters.
