It would be easy enough to write a converter for this kind of information.
I�ve already written one in hypercard to convert Rlin-eureka files into
more proper endnote files along with a much more involved Word 6 for the
mac (yuck) macro to convert some book bibliographies in more or less
MLA/Chicago format into endnote files. 

I would be willing to put these up on the server, but the latter
especially is in rather shaky shape. Should I? Right now the latter would
be more of a demonstration than anything else. I�m busy and doing these
projects already cost me too much time. I might be willing to work on them
some more as shareware items if  enough people expressed interest. 

You could actually write a macro for this data in any word processor that
could do macros. Simply convert the tags into  refer tags. I.E. replace
%Title with %T, etc. It should take about 5 minutes. Applescript and a
scriptable text editor would also do the trick quite nicely.
