there a clear winner? What shareware is available? Are the commercial programs worth the price? What about Hypercard programs? My own interest is for scholarship in the humanities, but the experiences of people in the sciences may be helpful to others. If you will Email to me, I will summarize to the net. Thanks.

(Sorry about this repost. My editor seems to have eaten the first line.) What has your experience been with bibliography programs? Is there a clear winner? What shareware is available? Are the commercial programs worth the price? What about Hypercard programs?

What about Hypercard >programs? I have looked at a number of bibliography programs and have found that none of them were flexible enough for me. I have written my own which should allow complete flexibility for bibliographies, and it also has the ability to define symbolic constants for figures, theorems, etc. which can be referred to elsewhere in the document. It works using the print merge facility of Word 3/4. It is going to beta-test probably some time next week and will be distributed as shareware. It consists of two parts: a HyperCard database for keeping the bibliographic references and an application which scans the Word document(s) and database(s) and compiles the references and bibliography. The databases scanned by the program are text files in the BibTeX format which can be imported/exported into the Hypercard stack. --Mark
