I have a bibliography like from netlib.att.com with exntres like:

%keyword CSTR OBS
%cstr 5
%report Comp. Sci. Tech. Rep. No. 5
%author B. W. Kernighan
%author D. M. Ritchie
%author K. Thompson
%title Q\s-2ED\s0 Text Editor
%date May 1972
%type techreport obsolete


The SunOS documentation just says

sortbib file | roffbib | lpr

All it produces is Bibliography as a heading...

It looked at roffbib (a script) and refer/grefer, with not much luck...

Also I don't see a tmac.bib file for groff...

I did:
  526  grefer -a1 -b -B att.research.ctsr.bib >att.grefer 
and it produced entries whith look like:
.ds [a uthor K. Thompson
.ds [c str 5
.ds [d ate May 1972
.ds [k eyword CSTR OBS
.ds [r eport Comp. Sci. Tech. Rep. No. 5
.ds [t ype techreport obsolete
.][ 0 other

but I'm not sure how to process this with troff/groff.
