You can use Endnote on plain text files, so it should also work for OzTeX 
input files. You do have to add a citation format without typestyles like
bold etc. to EndNote however, but that's not too much work. Also, you should
choose another set of citation markers (default [ and ]) because these are 
used a lot in TeX files. Try ##.

Another option is to export the database and use bibtex.

I tried to make a new export format called BibTeX. Then, one could export
all records in BibTeX format and feed it to bibtex. The problem I
encountered is that the BibTeX format is something like:

@article{key,
  author = "...",
  title = "...",
  note = "..."
}

Unfortunately, endnote converts the literals "author" and so on to the 
contents of the field with that name.

Anyone a solution for that one?
