     I don't do it on a regular basis, but tested it as part of
     an evaluation. EndNote libraries seem to be 100% compatible
     between Mac and IBM, and long may it remain so!

     The only thing to note is that if it is a PC EndNote
     library, EndNote on the Mac won't immediately recognise it
     (i.e. it won't have an EndNote icon, double-clicking on it
     won't launch EndNote and if you select File Open within
     EndNote Mac you won't see it listed as an EndNote library).

     The solution is simple; in System 7 use drag and drop to
     drop the file onto EndNote, or go into EndNote and hold down
     the shift key as you select File Open (then EndNote will
     list all files, not just those it recognises as EndNote
     libraries); open the library, and thereafter it will be
     recognised as belonging to EndNote.

     I see from the manual this feature requires EndNote v1.4 or
     later. The more technical may prefer to set the library's
     file creator to "ENDN" and the type to "ENDB" as they copy
     it to the Mac, which does the same thing.
