(When I gave you a hands-on demo of the at&t bib, I forgot to mention
the other service, I'll repeat them here as they may be of interest to
others -- certainly was usefull for my thesis literature search)

[Most of these are, as you'd except, bibliographies on telecomms,
networking and computer related topics]

`Network Bibliographies'

AT&T's WWW server (http://www.research.att.com) has an online bibliography
search engine on the top menu. Entries can be retrieved in a formatted
html document or as BibTeX entries (a lot with abstracts). Keyword search
is primitive (word AND word AND ...), but hey.

There's also a Z39.50 gwy that allows you to lookup IEEE proceedings.

`Bibliographies'

Available at `ftp://ftp.ira.uka.de/pub/bibliography/index.html' is another
large selection of bibliographies structured hierarchically, but most of
these have been used as input to the AT&T offered service above.

On acacia, `mosaic' and `lynx' are in /uts/pub/sunos4/bin/X11 and
/uts/pub/sunos4/bin respectively.

There is also an archive for technical reports, it's FAQ can be found
on comp.doc.techreports.
