Suppose I want to add a "Software References" section to a .pdf file generated from a .tex file. In principle, it seems like I could use softbib() to generate a softbib.bib file and then have LaTeX create a special references section that cites every entry in that softbib.bib file.

But I cannot make this work in practice.
