I have been reading the various wishes for future versions of EN, and would
like to add a couple of cents worth.

1.  The biggest single request I would have would be the ability to import
MARC or OCLC records.  The is the electronic format most library records are
in.  I realize that this format poses special problems, and that as far as I
know, only the PC version of Procite can handle it.  And even Procite doesn't
handle it uniformly well.  It may be due to the fact that MARC or OCLC isn't
actually a single format--there is a different format for each type of
material, serials, a-v, monographs, etc.  However, there will soon be a
unified OCLC/MARC format, which will simplify life for libraries, so perhaps
for bibliographic software designers, as well.

2.  Would it be possible for future versions to store reference types in a
folder, similar to the way styles are now handled, instead of in the prefs
file?  And, of course, it is absolutely essential that there be more than the
current number of reference types.  I have had to create a couple of types
for materials I use frequently, which has meant losing a couple of the pre-
defined types.  Were I to share my types with someone else, or if they were
to share theirs with me, our prefs, including our own types, would be
overwritten.  If one could add or create types in much the same way one adds
or creates styles, it would be a major enhancement.
