I have had problems importing refs from CD databases into en+, because of the limited import filters built in. Specifically, I am importing from ASFA1 (Aquatic sciences and fisheries abstracts) which was distributed by Compact Cambridge. The UK EN+ distributors were very helpful and came up with an intermediate program "PreferRefer" which was very successful. Sadly, CC were bought by SilverPlatter who now distribute ASFA and the CD output has changed to the point where I'm back at square one. Importing references via EndLink works Ok but all refs are imported as Journal Articles, losing and muddling information about conference proceedings. Cherwell Scientific (the UK distributors) are reluctant to spend more time developing a "fix" on the grounds that a new version of EN+ is imminent and will incorporate all manner of filters to cure all ills. When is the new version due and will it be able to cope with a variety of formats? What about making the filters user modifiable as per "Papyrus"? Here's hoping for good news!
