Lines: 26 I apologise for the wide distribution, but I am looking for a program, and I didn't know to what distribution to restrict my postings. I finally decided, after years of trying, starting then abandoning in the middle, to organise my large collection of papers, articles, etc... I am looking for a referencing system with the following contraints: Works with Unix. Must be easy to use, no complicated syntax to master. Allows "collection" searches by keywords, subject, author, etc... Interactive data entry and searching. These are the main "features" that I'm looking for. I would be satisfied with very basic systems (I'm considering writing a simple awk-based system if I don't get any satisfactory replies), as long as it works reasonably well, eg an awk-based system with some kind of filter for data entry would fit the bill very nicely, but I'll take anything :-) Any comments, suggestions, public domain software :-) will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. toufic Toufic Boubez boubez@caip.rutgers.edu --I'll have a new .signature as soon as I think of one.
