       pubindex - make inverted bibliographic index

SYNOPSIS

       pubindex [ file ] ...

DESCRIPTION

       Pubindex  makes	a  hashed  inverted index to the named files for use by refer(1).  The files contain bibliographic references separated by
       blank lines.  A bibliographic reference is a set of lines that contain bibliographic information fields.   Each	field  starts  on  a  line
       beginning  with	a `%', followed by a key-letter, followed by a blank, and followed by the contents of the field, which continues until the
       next line starting with `%'.  The most common key-letters and the corresponding fields are:

	      A    Author name
	      B    Title of book containing article referenced
	      C    City
	      D    Date
	      d    Alternate date
	      E    Editor of book containing article referenced
	      G    Government (CFSTI) order number
	      I    Issuer (publisher)
	      J    Journal
	      K    Other keywords to use in locating reference
	      M    Technical memorandum number
	      N    Issue number within volume
	      O    Other commentary to be printed at end of reference
	      P    Page numbers
	      R    Report number
	      r    Alternate report number
	      T    Title of article, book, etc.
	      V    Volume number
	      X    Commentary unused by pubindex

       Except for `A', each field should only be given once.  Only relevant fields should be supplied.	An example is:

	      %T 5-by-5 Palindromic Word Squares
	      %A M. D. McIlroy
	      %J Word Ways
	      %V 9
	      %P 199-202
	      %D 1976
