Contrary to Avi's opinion, for people who have access to Lisp (particularly
Macintosh Common Lisp) a conversion program does exist.  It converts BibTeX
to Refer format, which can then be imported directly into Endnote. I have
had relatively good success in converting BibTeX-format bibliographies to
EndNote using this tool.

Here is the header information from one of the files.

This converter can be obtained via anonymous ftp to cambridge.apple.com, in
the /pub/mcl/contrib directory.  The file is called bibtex-to-refer.hqx or
something similar.
