Bill Howarth always comes up with the goods!  For what it's worth, this is
what I do - I have three separate Macs that I use from time to time for
writing.  I always add new references to a date-identified temporary
library, usually updated on a monthly basis either direct from journals or
from Current Contents or Medline.  I then copy these to my main libraries.
Takes a bit of organisation, but saves a lot of work.  It also means that
I've always got three copies of my main library hanging around in case of
crashes.

I agree that the duplicate finding facility needs a bit more grunt.  At
present it looks as though a single character error  in a critical field
will allow duplicates to remain.
