#257 Reatin @comment{} fields please

[Michael Friendly]

I use JabRef among other tools to manage my .bib files.
The only way I know to store extra non-bib information
that will not cause problems is in @comment{}, as in
the header comment below. I also store templates for
bib entries in case I have to edit with another editor.
@comment{} is a BibTeX standard. Please keep them
in the file.

@COMMENT{
References in the history of thematic cartography,
statistical graphics, and data visualization.
Original references (oldnum=) from James Beniger and
Dorothy L. Robyn, "Quantitative Graphics in Statistics:
A Brief History," American Statistician, Feb.
1978, 32(1):1--11.

This version reformatted 29 Mar 2006 08:41:45 using
bibtool -r timeref -o timeref.bib timeref.bib
perl -pi~ -e 'BEGIN{$/=""};s/\}\n\}/},\n}/' timeref.bib

recode latex..latin1 < timeref.bib | perl -pe
's|\{([^\d])\}|$1|g' > timeref-latin1.bib
# jabref -o timeref-endnote.txt,endnote -n true
timeref-latin1.bib -- doesnt work
jabref timeref-latin1.bib
Export to timeref-endnote.txt
}

thanks
