Summary description: converts amsrefs' .ltb bibliographical databases to 
BibTeX format

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This package implements a LaTeX command that converts an amsrefs
bibliographical database (.ltb) to a BibTeX bibliographical database
(.bib).

The typical usage is to run LaTeX on a document such as

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ltb2bib}
\begin{document}
\writebib{bblsource}{bibdest}
\end{document}

This will convert the bibliographical entries in bblsource.ltb to
BibTeX format, and write them to bibdest.bib.

This will convert the bibliographical entries in bblsource.ltb to
BibTeX format, and write them to bibdest.bib.

ltb2bib is the reverse of the "amsxport" option in amsrefs. Typical uses 
are:

* produce bib entries for some publishers which don't accept amsrefs
   (Taylor & Francis, for example);

* import an ltb database in a database management program, e.g. for 
sorting;

* access one's ltb database within emacs's RefTeX mode.
