However, we are developing a new version that will address your concerns. EndLink 2 will be configurable, allowing users to edit filters and define exactly what data should be imported into EndNote database fields. It will allow longer tags, impport from more complex source fields, import into various reference types (if defined by the database), and automatically provide headline or sentence lowercasing. We do not have a definite ship date, but hope to ship in the first half of 1994. We will notify you as soon as it is shipping. As a side note, do you have the latest version of EndLink, version 1.1.6? If not, please let us know and we will send it to you. Thank you.
