Bibliographic Software... for IBM compatibles
In response to the query on bibliographic programs, I want to mention one
outstanding program called PAPYRUS. It's on mainframes and PCs... not yet
MACs, but it may come by the end of this year.
PAPYRUS, from RESEARCH SOFTWARE DESIGN, 2718 SW Kelly Street, Suite 181
Portland, OR 97201 (phone = 503/796-1368)
is everything I had been looking for for 3 years -- AND MORE.
1. It's cheap (under $100)
2. It's intelligently put together (SO rare!)
saves on space by having a dictionary of index words, one of
journals, etc.; and it helps you avoid repeating index words
or have wrong journal names or inconsisten one.
3. In it's new version it will have AN OUTSTANDING *NOTECARD* FEATURE
(thus solving the cross-referencing problems we all have shen
we are using paper index cards and want to put one card in
several boxes...)
4. I'm not paid by the owner, Dave Goldman, to rave about this product.
I'm just delighted about it and want people to share the joy!!!
Note, however, that I'm using a Beta copy of version 7.0 -- i.e., a copy
which is not out yet. The commercial version is 6.0 still.
If you do not enter large numbers of bibliographic entries, you might still
want to use the NOTECARD feature instead of paper index cards, e.g.,
if you have a laptop and work in libraries.

The best biblio programme I have seen for the Mac. is Pro-Cite.
Contact arg@pbsinc.com (Argyl Houser) for information. You will be amazed.
