I tried to compile the file and I'm not sure if it worked. Here's a list of the output I got from within emacs. Compiling file c:/emacs-21.1/lisp/inspec2bibtex.el at Mon May 12 09:50:17 2003 ** reference to free variable num ** assignment to free variable journal-abbrev ** reference to free variable journal-abbrev While compiling match-journal-entry: ** reference to free variable num While compiling match-proceedings-entry: ** reference to free variable num ** reference to free variable address While compiling match-report-entry: ** reference to free variable num While compiling match-in-collection-entry: ** reference to free variable num While compiling match-in-book-entry: ** reference to free variable num While compiling match-INSPEC-reference-field: ** assignment to free variable journal-name ** assignment to free variable volume ** assignment to free variable number ** reference to free variable month ** assignment to free variable month ** assignment to free variable year ** assignment to free variable pages While compiling match-publisher-field: ** assignment to free variable publisher ** reference to free variable num While compiling match-editors-field: ** assignment to free variable editors While compiling match-sponsor-field: ** assignment to free variable organization While compiling match-conf-address&dates: ** assignment to free variable address ** assignment to free variable dates ** assignment to free variable month While compiling add-annotation: ** reference to free variable annote ** assignment to free variable annote While compiling add-note: ** reference to free variable note ** assignment to free variable note While compiling add-entry: ** reference to free variable assoc-value ** assignment to free variable assoc-value While compiling make-key: ** reference to free variable year Does this mean it worked? When I try to load a file I saved from a search in WEBSPIRS nothing happens. Just what does this package do and how does it work? I can't seem to find any references on the web. And if anyone has a good tool for converting ISI and INSPEC to bibtex, please let me know. Thanks, Jeff.
