+Bibindex and biblook are programs for fast lookup in BibTeX
+bibliography data bases.
+
+Bibindex converts a .bib file to a .bix file, which is a compact
+binary representation of the .bib file containing hash tables for fast
+lookup, as well as byte offset positions into the corresponding .bib
+file.
+
+Biblook provides an interactive lookup facility using the .bix and
+.bib files.
