YAPBIB
Yapbib is Your Annotated Personal Bibliography. This program allows you to manage your body of literature research, include annotations per author and per literature-entry, organize and categorize the entries for your specific projects, perform queries on the entries, and export contents on the bibliograpy database in BibTex form. Yapbib uses no external database to keep the software small and manageable. It's database is in ASCII form that is easily read into other programs or modified by hand. It also stores a cached copy of each article in PDF format making YapBib your "one-stop-shop to your bibliography!"

INSTALLING/BUILDING
YapBib was developed with cross-platform usage in mind. The windowing
toolkit it uses in the Fast Light Toolkit (www.fltk.org) (which is also
distributed under the GPL). YapBib has been tested on MacOSX, Windows,
and Linux to function on.
FLTK must be present on the system in order to build YapBib. Version
1.1.4rc1 was used to in development. It is easy to download and build
from www.fltk.org.
All source is in ./src
MACOSX / LINUX / UNIX
To build YapBib, it should be as simple as selecting the correct Makefile. Editing the INCLUDE/LIB locations for FLTK and then typing make. I provide no "make install" functionality as YapBib is a stand-alone statically linked executable -- just copy it to /usr/local/bin or /Applications.
WINDOWS
A VC++ Project has been supplied in the src directory. Please edit the Project Settings to point to the correct locations for FLTK Include and Library data. These are system specific. Also, a copy of the SGI-STL library is packaged with this software for use when building under windows since the VC++ STL is incompatible.
