[comp.sys.ibm.pc] references management systems?

I am new to this newsgroup, so forgive me if this has been asked before:

I am looking for some kind of system to keep track of references. For
example, if I have a mess of articles, it would be nice to have a way
to search them for authors, or keywords, r whatever.

I have heard there are programs specifically designed to do this, but 
no one seems to know what they are. I have heard of something called
refman, but the individual who mentioned it to me has never used it.
Is it any good (and does it exist?)

I would sure appreciate some advice.

There is a pretty decent reference management system making the
rounds of DOS BBS systems called BIBLIO-FILE.  The current
version is 2.30 and you should find it on most good boards
as BIB230.ARC
