What have you tried? Considering you have the basic layout there, you might want to try modifying it slightly and seeing if it works. That will earn you a lot more respect. Perhaps more importantly, you could actually learn something which will help you in the future.

NAME
indxbib - create an inverted index to a bibliographic database SYNOPSIS
indxbib database-file... DESCRIPTION
indxbib makes an inverted index to the named database-file (which must reside within the current directory), typically for use by look- bib(1) and refer(1). A database contains bibliographic references (or other kinds of information) separated by blank lines. A bibliographic reference is a set of lines, constituting fields of bibliographic information. Each field starts on a line beginning with a `%', followed by a key-letter, then a blank, and finally the contents of the field, which may continue until the next line starting with `%'. indxbib is a shell script that calls two programs: /usr/lib/refer/mkey and /usr/lib/refer/inv. mkey truncates words to 6 characters, and maps upper case to lower case. It also discards words shorter than 3 characters, words among the 100 most common English words, and num- bers (dates) < 1000 or > 2099. These parameters can be changed. indxbib creates an entry file (with a .ia suffix), a posting file (.ib), and a tag file (.ic), in the working directory. FILES
/usr/lib/refer/mkey /usr/lib/refer/inv x.ia entry file x.ib posting file x.ic tag file x.ig reference file ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | |Availability |SUNWdoc | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
addbib(1), lookbib(1), refer(1), roffbib(1), sortbib(1), attributes(5) BUGS
All dates should probably be indexed, since many disciplines refer to literature written in the 1800s or earlier. indxbib does not recognize pathnames. SunOS 5.10 14 Sep 1992 indxbib(1)
