Do you cite that differently from other books? I know you know Biblatex: @Book{dyson, author = {Peter Dyson}, title = {The Unix Desk Reference: The hu.man Pages}, publisher = {SYBEX}, year = 1996, ISBN = {0-7821-1658-2}} By the way, I think it was gnuplot: the first time you use it it outputs an entry just like that how to cite it in a paper! While I think that is a bit silly, software COULD come with an option, e.g. --cite so you could output it that way (and/or it could be mentioned in the man page). Why not? It is easy to do and some people would actually use it as well. -- underground experts united
