NAME
       bibtex8 - 8-bit Big BibTeX version 0.99c

SYNOPSIS
       bibtex8 [options] aux-file

DESCRIPTION
       8-bit BibTeX is an enhanced, portable C version of BibTeX 0.99.  It has
       been enhanced in these areas:

       - conversion to "big" (32-bit) capacity

       - capacity selectable at run time

       - flexible support for non-English languages using 8-bit character sets

       - well matched to LateX2e and its "inputenc" package

       Oren Patashnik, the creator of BibTeX, is working on a new  BibTeX  1.0
       that  will  be  a modern implementation supporting large capacities and
       non-English languages (see TUGboat, pages 269--274, volume  15,  number
       3, September 1994).  He is content for this version to be released, but
       hopes that people will eventually migrate to BibTeX 1.0 when it is  re-
       leased.  Its release date is uncertain at the moment.
