A new package has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its
way to your favorite mirror.

Thanks for the material,
Jim Hefferon

======================================================================

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: bibfile-reformat-pages
Author's name: Barak A. Pearlmutter
Location on CTAN: biblio/bibtex/utils/bibfile-reformat-pages
Summary description: puts .bib file page ranges into uniform format 
  (abbreviated or not as requested)
License type: gpl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Small gawk script to put all the pages= page ranges in a .bib file into 
a uniform format, either 1234-1256 or upon request 1234-56; 12-12 always 
scrunched to just 1234; squeezes out spaces around separator; can make 
all separators one-dash or two-dashes upon request.  Very very 
conservative: probably impossible for it to actually mess up a file.
