II.  INTRODUCTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  arXivBib, licensed under the gpl, retrieves abstract pages from arXiv.org
  and reformats them as BibTeX entries.  It saves lots of typing if you have
  many such references to cite, but isn't worth the trouble if you only
  have a few.


III.  REVISION HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  11/30/05  J.Forkosh      version 1.00 (alpha) released


IV.  CONCLUDING REMARKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
  I hope you find arXivBib useful.  If so, a contribution to your
  country's TeX Users Group, or to the GNU project, is suggested.
