TUGboat, Volume 24 (2003), No. 2 265 The Treasure Chest This is a list of packages posted to CTAN from July 2002 through December 2003, with descriptive text pulled from the announcement or researched and edited for brevity. Please inform us of any errors. With this installment, we have switched to list- ing entries alphabetically within CTAN directories, rather than by date. This seemed more useful to us, since it groups related entries together. Comments are welcome, as always. Hopefully this column and those which follow will help to make CTAN a more accessible resource to the TEX community. biblio apacite in biblio/bibtex/contrib Attempts to implement the citation rules of the American Psychological Association. babelbib in biblio/bibtex/contrib Generates multilingual bibliographies in coopera- tion with babel. bib-fr in biblio/bibtex/contrib French translation of classical BibTEX styles. bibtool in biblio/bibtex/utils Manipulation of BibTEX files including: sorting and merging, pretty-printing, syntax checks with error recovery, semantic checks, generation of uniform reference keys, controlled rewriting with regular ex- pressions, collection of statistics, and more.
