DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     RRooffffbbiibb is a shell script which prints out all records in a bibliographic
     database, in bibliography format rather than as footnotes or endnotes.
     Generally it is used in conjunction with sortbib:

	   sortbib database | roffbib

     RRooffffbbiibb accepts most of the options understood by nroff(1), such as the
     --TT flag to specify terminal type.

     If abstracts or comments are entered in the database following the %X
     field key, rrooffffbbiibb will format them into paragraphs for an annotated bi-
     bliography.  Several %X fields may be given if several annotation para-
     graphs are desired.

     Options exclusive to rrooffffbbiibb:

     --xx        Suppresses the printing of %X abstracts.

     --VV        Send output to the Versatec (use vtroff).

     --QQ        Queue the output to the default troff device.

     If neither the --QQ or --VV flags are given, rrooffffbbiibb sends the output to the
     standard output.  The default macros for rrooffffbbiibb are in
     /_u_s_r/_s_h_a_r_e/_t_m_a_c/_t_m_a_c._b_i_b.	These can be over ridden by specifying a
     user-defined set with the --mm option.

     Four command-line registers control formatting style of the bibliography,
     much like the number registers of ms(7).  The command-line argument --rr_N_1
     will number the references starting at one  1 .  The flag --rr_V_2 will
     double space the bibliography, while --rr_V_1 will double space references
     but single space annotation paragraphs.  The line length can be changed
     from the default 6.5 inches to 6 inches with the --rr_L_6_i argument, and the
     page offset can be set from the default of 0 to one inch by specifying
     --rr_O_1_i (capital O, not zero).  Note: with the --VV and --QQ flags the default
     page offset is already one inch.

     RRooffffbbiibb is limited, but it is a good script to copy and adopt for one's
     own needs, as it does demonstrate usage of refer(1).
