Originally written by Karl Berry, 2022. Public domain.

This directory, Build/source/texk/bibtex-x, contains the sources for
bibtex8 (supporting 8-bit character sets) and bibtexu (supporting
Unicode).

See the 00* and 01* files, and the man pages, for what documentation
there is about the programs. (Not much.)

History: bibtex8 was written first, by Niel Kempson and Alejandro
Aguilar-Sierra, ca.1996. bibtexu was derived from bibtex8 by Yannis
Haralambous and his students, ca.2009. Peter Breitenlohner integrated
bibtexu into TeX Live, and the Japanese TeX Development Community
(notably TANAKA Takuji) has brought it up to date in the years since.

Both are now maintained as part of TeX Live.

CTAN SOURCE TREE INFORMATION


This CTAN source tree has been automatically extracted from the texk
Subversion repository at svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source/texk/.

It is not possible to use the supplied configure script.
In fact, if you call it; you will be told as such.

This source can only be compiled in a texk build environment.
You will need to download the whole environment, please refer to
http://www.tug.org/texlive/svn/.

It all boils down to a Subversion checkout of
svn://tug.org/texlive/trunk/Build/source
This will be the source tree that you can use for compilation. The
CTAN directory is there for archival and informational purpose.

For your convenience, the original configure script from the texk
source tree is available in this directory as configure.texk.
