gillbates, i think the reason it appeared to be hanging up is that your sed command didn't know what it was supposed to be looking at .. you didn't specify a file for it to replace the characters in.

try this:

sed -e 's/\^M//g' $file > tmp
mv tmp $file

rubibtex

rubibtex(1)							       teTeX							       rubibtex(1)

NAME

       rubibtex - make a bibliography for (La)TeX using Russian letters as item names

SYNOPSIS

       rubibtex BASENAME

DESCRIPTION

       rubibtex is used to run bibtex(1) on auxiliary files with Russian characters in item names (citation keys).  It is part of the T2 package.

       rubibtex  copies the auxiliary file to /tmp, uses sed(1) to convert Cyrillic character commands to their 8-bit ASCII equivalents; runs bib-
       tex(1) on the modified file; and finally moves the original auxiliary file back (overwriting the modified file).

       rubibtex assumes that the bibtex(1) database (bib) files are encoded with the KOI8-R encoding.

FILES

       basename.aux
	      LaTeX auxiliary file

BUGS

       None known, but report any bugs found to the authors.
