The RAM is 640 MB SDRAM. The problem for which I ask your help is that I can't import Medline citations. I've tried every possible Medline import format provided by Research oftware Development that I could find, with no success. On a post by Dr. Barriga he mentions the may 2002 version as an option but I couldn't find on the web site. Also, if any one of you knows of an Oxford format for exporting citations that you could help me find I would be thankful. Yours truly.

I have now two PubMed importer, one for regular papers and one for those which appear "ahead of print". They work, but they need a look into them, beacuse I get parts of the Journal title into the year field. If the medline importer above doesn't work, you can send an email to me and I will send you my import formats. Hopefully I can handle the trouble with the wrong year until then. >Also, if any one of you knows of an Oxford format for exporting >citations that you could help me find I would be thankful. Isn't there one? How does Oxford citations look like? It should be easy to create such a format.

This was the reason that I looked at the modern world alternatives BibDesk, ReferenceWorker, Sente, Bookends and Endnote to compare it to Papyrus. I found out that some of them have nicer appearances or are partially equipped with interesting features, but none of them seemed to be able to replace the power and feature richness of Papyrus for Macintosh at the moment. Overall I think Bookends might develop into an application which might substitute Papyrus one day. At least Bookends is updated regularly and from looking at their forum it seems that there's a nice programmer-user-relationship. But I am happy to announce that there are a few projects in development to bring classic Mac OS to Intel Macs: There's an Emulator called Basilisk II 1.0-Pre and one called SheepShaver 2.3-Pre Both are Mac-Intel-ready. Basislisk is emulating a 68040 processor Mac and can run Mac OS 7.x to 8.1, Sheepshaver is emulating a PowerPC-G4 with the possibility to run Mac OS 7.5.2 to 9.0.4 http://www.gibix.net/projects/basilisk2/ http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshaver/ Since I don't have a Mac Intel I couldn't test Papyrus with this emulators. I doubt that they will work as nice as the Classic environment, but maybe it's good enough to continue using Papyrus until the competitors catch up with Papyrus or some kind of fantastical event brings Papyrus to Mac OS X.

If you want to see all of the keywords, go to the Windows pull-down menu, and pull down Keywords. (or do it directly with Apple-K). On the other hand, if you are entering a keyword into a new or edited reference, you can use * as a wildcard and it will bring up a window you can select from. For example, in our database, entering *diseas* pulls up clinical-infectious diseases, concept-hp-burden of disease, etc. Then you can highlight the ones you want. From within the Keywords menu, you can edit them (which in turn edits that keyword in all references which use it), delete them, merge them, and so on. > > This is an excellent biblio program, but I'm still unaware of the > potentials > for use. They are enormous! We use it to maintain a large database for our research unit. We use the papyrus number to store electronic versions of the files; if a file is papyrus number 137, we'd rename the electronic version p137.pdf (and then enter a Located-pdf keyword to tell us that we have an electronic copy.) We use keywords to flag which researcher wants to use a particular reference, as well as the concepts they would refer to it for, and projects which that reference is being used with. (everything from syllabi to theses.) We even use it for its intended purpose of formating bibliographies. And lately I've found myself enjoying using the capacity of using Papyrus to search for a reference, and then using apple-1 to paste it to the clipboard. Very handy if you want to paste that reference, say into an e-mail. Since Dave didn't bother making it easy to export from version 8 to version 7, we still maintain the master version of data base in the DOS version, create *.bb files, put them on our server, and then ask everyone using it to ensure they have the most recent version and restore from them. But we have found that it is VERY easy to import from the version 7 BB files into version 8; just make sure that you keep creating a NEW database with the same name as the old one, and then over-writing it. (If you need to do this, I can provide further information.) So - one potential is to allow many people to use the same data base (and it is free, which is even better). Note that most of the other biblio programs I've looked at don't retain a unique number, and so are less appropriate for that purpose. (And if anyone knows of a package that doesn't do dynamic number allocation, please let me know.) > > Can you suggest how the help pages can be accessed? Have I > downloaded all > the segments? I too have had problems with that - I suspect it is that Papyrus doesn't know how to use Safari. Why not just download the manuals in pdf format from the web site (http://researchsoftwaredesign.com/ Components8.html) > > Thank you for your ideas. You're welcome. Hope this helps. (And if you really need to, be aware that DOS Papyrus WILL work under Virtual PC, although you have to go through far more hoops to get it to play nice with Microsoft Word.)

Often author names are written completely different than that, what Papyrus wants from us (for the sake of consistency). Papyrus likes "Surname, Firstname" but we often get "Firstname Surname" orders. I have enhanced an AppleScript called "Twordle" for the magnificent textprocessor Tex Edit Plus which is working as follows: To bring "John W. Smith" into the right Papyrus format, I am selecting the whole name. Then I hit Apple-Shift-T and the name changes to "Smith, John W." but stays selected, ready to get dragged and dropped into the Papyrus author field. It's just a small tool, but I save some time using it. Maybe you are interested. I am using Tex Edit Plus for a lot of tasks in conjunction with Papyrus. Other scriptable applications might work as well as TE+, but I did never try them.
