I received the sales literature in the mail for an upgrade.  I was wondering
if the new version has:
	A powerful style editor as per the discussion in this list some time ago;
	An importer for BibTex;
	Correctly handle names in fields other than just the Author field;
	Ability to save and later use searches.

All these features were discussed on this list, and the impression was given
that they would be a priority for the next version of EN+.  What happened?

I am also dissapointed to read that N&A didn't decide to make the 4-bit field
for the reference type a 5-bit field.  (Allow 32 reference types instead of
16.)  I can't understand why you didn't do this!?!  I use about 20 different
reference types; it would be nice to be able to type them up at once instead
of using the generic reference type all the time.  (I realize that any such
change would make backward compatibility nearly impossible; is that the reason
for the draconian limitation?)
