BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ IEEE BibTeX Bibliography Problem

[sgsawant]

I am trying to include a bibliography section in an IEEE paper that I am writing. For that I referred an excellent BibTex example:http://amath.colorado.edu/documentation ... tyles.html

The problem I am facing is the insistence of the IEEE template file to use .bbl file. Well it's not exactly "insistence" but I would still like to do things the correct way (the IEEE way). Following is the commented code from the IEEE template:

Code: Select all

% trigger a \newpage just before the given reference
% number - used to balance the columns on the last page
% adjust value as needed - may need to be readjusted if
% the document is modified later
%\IEEEtriggeratref{8}
% The "triggered" command can be changed if desired:
%\IEEEtriggercmd{\enlargethispage{-5in}}

% references section

% can use a bibliography generated by BibTeX as a .bbl file
% BibTeX documentation can be easily obtained at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/doc/
% The IEEEtran BibTeX style support page is at:
% http://www.michaelshell.org/tex/ieeetran/bibtex/
%\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
% argument is your BibTeX string definitions and bibliography database(s)
%\bibliography{IEEEabrv,../bib/paper}
%
% <OR> manually copy in the resultant .bbl file
% set second argument of \begin to the number of references
% (used to reserve space for the reference number labels box)
%\begin{thebibliography}{1}
%\bibitem{IEEEhowto:}
%\end{thebibliography}

It requests a .bbl file. I have understood the usage of .bib file (from the aforementioned URL example). Can someone direct me to an example using the .bbl file?
