I have move from a site which has tib to one which only has bib.  However
I have found that tib files are almost identical to refer files, eg.

%A T. Liu
%A Y. Lin
%D 1991
%I Elsevier Science Publishers
%J INTEGRATION, the VLSI Journal
%P 43-46
%T FLORA: A data path allocator based on branch-and-bound search.
%V 11

And I have found that r2bib will convert.  So I can now translate my tib
file to an acceptable bib format:

@article{key125,
	author =	"T. Liu and Y. Lin",
	year =		"1991",
	publisher =	"Elsevier Science Publishers",
	journal =	"INTEGRATION, the VLSI Journal",
	pages =		"43-46",
	title =		"FLORA: A data path allocator based on branch-and-bound search.",
	volume =	"11"
}

HOWEVER - now I have to choose which to continue to use.

bibgrep searches the bib style file. 
But look bib will search the tib (refer) style file.

Is one style more widely used.  Is one significantly better than the other?
