Just an additional comment ... The bibliography file itself is plain
text, so it would be possible to copy it to a Mac from a PC. I don't
think it would be possible to make use of the index files too, but at
least simple searches could be done in the text file.

We are very happy you are able to keep doing this project! A public WWW
version would be great.

Due 'shortly' I believe. Sadly Papyrus has failed to issue a Windows
version, nor is one promised soon. As a consequence it must be losing many
former enthusiastic users. There are several frustrations in using
what is now a rather clumsy Dos program in a windows environment.
So, if I have a choice, I would prefer the bibliography to be independant of
one particular piece of software and available in plain text with the usual
'tagged' fields that any good bibliography program could import.
