Re: NB 8 (Trial version)

Right, Patricia. Endnote and WriteNote regularly take out a full-page,
color ad on the back cover of the magazine ACADEME (semimonthly of the
American Association of Univeristy Professors--that tells you a lot about
the target buyers). I'm in the dark about these programs, since I find
XyWrite lets me do all manner of reformatting, but I know graduate students
here who are using EndNote. These programs really do have a market.

Cheers,
Carlo
