tkbibtex http://www.cat.csiro.au/cmst/staff/pic/tkbibtex.html has a merge function which may help. Nelson Beebe's collection of awk scripts may help as well http://www.math.utah.edu/~beebe/software/bibtex-bibliography-tools.html (including bib files checking and unique key determination and replacement in \cite commands). -- Jean-Pierre
