I've been reading a lot of papers recently, and have been toying with
the idea of somehow cataloging them electronically.  I'd like to keep
the mundane bibliographic information that addbib/refer/... let me
keep, as well as some annotation information.  The annotation
information would be both a textual description of the article and be
used to generate a list of articles that cover a particular (set of)
topics.

I don't really want to write a tool to do this (although I admit that
I started to do such a thing...); I'd love to hear about some UNIX or
Mac tools that would support this kind of application.

Also, I don't know much of anything about BibTeX/..., so if those will
fit the bill, tell me where I can get them!

Thanks!
