     I'm intrigued by this as we've been very disatisfied with the results
     of using EndLink. The main problems were the limited number of fields
     it would extract and that it usually guessed wrong when setting the
     Reference Type. We now use the approach of using a utility to
     automatically convert downloads to Refer format, then importing from
     that.

     Would you say that the results of using EndLink are
        (a) good
        (b) adequate
     or (c) less than adequate but better than nothing?
