Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
text2bib is a PHP script for converting references to BibTeX format.  
(It is currently implemented at 
http://theory.economics.utoronto.ca/text2bib.)  It aims to convert 
accurately references in any reasonable format.  Here are three 
examples of references that it converts correctly:
