The format for the bibliography database is the same as in BibTeX and a HyperCard stack is included which can read and write bibfiles. May be, but since WordRef was made to work with MS Word it deliberately ignores some of the finer points of the BibTeX format. This is clearly documented in the package; unfortunately I can't remember the details. This may bother some people. I decided against using it for that reason, but maybe I am too picky... There is another stack out there, called bibstack.sit and located at midway.chicago.edu that does not have this problem. However, it seems sort of flaky, with all the help cards appearing sort of jumbled, possibly due to a font size problem of sorts. I haven't really tried it out yet, but it might be what you need. If you decide to get it, beware that the file is in binary, *not* macbinary format (unless the archive maintainer has done something about it)! Get it with binary (not macbinary) FTP, start Stuffit, press the option key while you pull down the File menu and select Open, and you should be able to select it for unStuffing. - Harald Hanche-Olsen Division of Mathematical Sciences The Norwegian Institute of Technology N-7034 Trondheim, NORWAY
