I think all users have the same problem of importing.

It is easy to write program with Hypertalk for translation the
bibliography, but the user interface will depend on the individual who
write it.  Contrastly, the AFE has the standard & easy user interface
which the AFE's users are familiar with, as well as the error log handling
and other features.  In addition, if the original file is in MS-DOS format,
the regular Hypertalk cann't read it.

John Ralph, Would you please tell us about the translator, SRS-II from
Trinity, more?
