Lewis Veale is trying to get an EndLink filter to import references
from ASFA on SilverPlatter.

I have begun writing my own, but it is not quite ready yet.
In fact, it will never work perfectly. The problem is not with EndLink, but
with ASFA (or SilverPlatter?), as some reference types are not
coded consistently in ASFA. Reports and conference proceedings, but also
sometimes book chapters and books, are the main "problem" reference types.

Two types of inconsistancies are encountered: the given reference
type can have more than one "source" type in ASFA, and a given "source"
type can correspond to more than one reference type!

I think it will be necessary to first inspect the references in a word
processor, correct some of the inconsistancies, and then import with
EndLink. A real pain with large files!

I don't remember which filter I modified in my own prototype, but you can
email me if you want me to check out (and give you which inconsistancies
I have identified so far in ASFA).
