How to change vertical space between two bibitems?t

[Stefan Schulz]

Hello!
i want to change the formatting between two bibitems so that there
will be no extra space between the entries, just like frenchspacing
for ordinary paragraphs. In the latex companion I found that
\thebibliography is an ordinary general list. But stating
\setlength{\parsep}{0cm}\setlength{\itemsep}{0cm}\setlength{\topsep}{0cm}
just before calling \bibliography did not have any effect.
Who can help me?

You were very close. Put the \setlength commands immediately after
\begin{thebibliography}{...}

Is there any way of accomplishing this if one is using bibtex?

There is probably a package that does this but you can put the
following into your preamble.
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@openbib@code}{%
\setlength{\parsep}{0pt}
\setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}
\setlngth{\topsep}{0pt}}
\makeatother

Or you could put it into a .sty file (e.g., mybib.sty), without the
\make... commands, and in your document \usepackage{mybib}.
