Description: Fast lookup in BibTeX bibliography data bases
 bibindex converts a .bib file to a .bix file, which is a compact
 binary representation of the .bib file containing hash tables for
 fast lookup, as well as byte offset positions into the corresponding .bib
 file.
 .
 biblook provides an interactive lookup facility using the .bix and .bib
 files.  It verifies that the file version number and bibindex version
 number match its own values, and also compares the file time stamps
 so that it can detect whether the .bix file is out-of-date with
 respect to the .bib file.  In either case, execution terminates.
 .
 This Debian package features a command line history mechanism through
 the GNU readline library.
