Hi François,<br><br>Biber has pre-requisits which aren't standard on the perl distribution that comes with e.g. OSX (10.5.6 is mine). Could you (for example within your readme, or on the sourceforge website) give a download link for those prerequisits? (Not everyone loves Perl... ;-).)<br>

</div>Biber is indeed a BibTeX replacement for biblatex. It is still beta<br>
quality, but development is advancing rapidly. By default, sorting is<br>
done according to the Unicode Collation Algorithm (via the<br>
Unicode::Collate Perl module, which fully implements the UCA). The<br>
homepage is <a href="http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">http://biblatex-biber.sourceforge.net</a> (version 0.4.2 should<br>
be released shortly).<br>
<br>
If you don't use biblatex but are looking for a Unicode-aware bibtex<br>
replacement, you might want to try pybtex<br>
(<a href="http://pybtex.sourceforge.net" target="_blank">http://pybtex.sourceforge.net</a>), though I would be surprised if it<br>
indeed sorts according to the UCA.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
