We use Reference Manager and find it very good. It is user friendly, searches quickly, and will put references into 100 preset journal formats or customised ones. It takes WordPerfect 5.0 (I'm not sure about 5.1), and will accept medline downloads, as well as downloads from the CD-medline we use. There is a module which I've not got which allows you to "splice" references in from the database as you write, rather than batch-processing the document. We've also found the suppliers receptive to comments and criticisms, and updates occur once or twice a year.
