Looking a GiftHorse in the Mouth - PreferREFER

I've been using PreferREFER to import references that I obtained using
BIDS. It's great (and free). However at the risk of looking a gift
horse in the mouth.....

BIDS has several databases, one of which is the journals database, the
other supplies PROCEEDINGS citations. Unfortunately the BIDS
conversion program ASSUMES that the references are journals. I can't
imagine it would be that hard to supply a similar program which deals
with proceedings (even if one program can't deal with both).

Can anyone suggest? I would write a yacc script to do it myself, but
I'm right in the middle of writing up, and it's the last thing I
actually wanna do RIGHT NOW.
