The various version numbers are;

 TeXExec 3.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002

This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14h-released-20010417-2.1 (Web2C 7.3.3.1)
entering extended mode
(./testbib.tex{/sw/share/texmf.local/pdftex/config/pdftex.cfg}

ConTeXt  ver: 2002.7.12  fmt: 2002.7.24  int: english  mes: english

m-bib.tex is however fairly old and I have not been able to find a newer one
25/6/2001. (20001 in the source!)

Is that new enough?

Thanks very much for this it works well. Although some method of increasing
the spacing between the reference and the list would be useful. Temporarily
I replace \hss by \quad.  Can't remember what \hss does, the TeX book is at
home.
