    ROFFBIB(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual	       ROFFBIB(1)

    NAME
         roffbib - run off bibliographic database

    SYNOPSIS
         roffbib [ -e ] [ -h ] [ -n ] [ -o ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -Tterm ]
         [ -x ] [ -m mac ] [ -V ] [ -Q ] [ file ... ]

    DESCRIPTION
         Roffbib prints out all records in a bibliographic database,
         in bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes.
         Generally it is used in conjunction with sortbib:

    	  sortbib  database | roffbib

         Roffbib accepts most of the options understood by nroff(1),
         most importantly the -T flag to specify terminal type.

         If abstracts or comments are entered following the %X field
         key, roffbib will format them into paragraphs for an anno-
         tated bibliography.  Several %X fields may be given if
         several annotation paragraphs are desired.  The -x flag will
         suppress the printing of these abstracts.

         A user-defined set of macros may be specified after the -m
         option.  There should be a space between the -m and the
         macro filename.  This set of macros will replace the ones
         defined in /usr/share/tmac/tmac.bib.  The -V flag will send
         output to the Versatec; the -Q flag will queue output for
         the phototypesetter.

         Four command-line registers control formatting style of the
         bibliography, much like the number registers of ms(7).  The
         command-line argument -rN1 will number the references start-
         ing at one (1).  The flag -rV2 will double space the biblio-
         graphy, while -rV1 will double space references but single
         space annotation paragraphs.  The line length can be changed
         from the default 6.5 inches to 6 inches with the -rL6i argu-
         ment, and the page offset can be set from the default of 0
         to one inch by specifying -rO1i (capital O, not zero).
         Note: with the -V and -Q flags the default page offset is
         already one inch.

    BUGS
         Users have to rewrite macros to create customized formats.
