Download all.
texit
A shell script for LaTeXing a document and converting to .pdf: texit.
Download it, call it "texit", and make
it executable (chmod a+x texit). Run it as follows (if your
document is called mydocument.tex): $ texit mydocument
bibit
A shell script for bibtexing a document, converting to .pdf, and
viewing it if you want: bibit.
Run with
one argument to view the result (with Acrobat reader -- on a Mac,
replace that line with "open $1").
Run with two arguments (the
second can be anything) to avoid launching the .pdf viewer:
$ bibit mydocument
or $ bibit mydocument blah

only unique entries, and maintaining alphabetical order: mergebib.py.
