Hi there,

The other day I downloaded Taglink.EXE (IBM) and I ran into a major problem
  Let me explain:  I was using windows 3.1 and ran a DOS window (I forget 
the correct term for it).  Then thinking that TAGLINK was a self extracting 
archive I ran it.  The next thing I knew the window closed, I got a memory 
error and my computer locked up.  Well...I had no choice but to reboot the 
machine.  I then got an error message saying something like "system is 
missing".  In a panic I called a friend and using Norton 7.0 (I use DOS 6.0
) we were able to get the machine working again.  The file somehow 
corrupted the FAT structure on the hard drive.  I don't know what went 
wrong and I will not even attempt to use taglink again.  Whether this 
occurred because it was done through windows or because I ran a file that 
works within endnote does not alleviate the fact that this occurred.  I am 
writing this as a warning to others who may make the same mistake as I did
and to let Avi (at Niles) know that there is a bug somewhere in the program 
that should be corrected.  Other than that I still use Endnote (my most 
valuable program)


One question:  My library is over 4 meg long.  I would love to see a built 
in backup option in the next version of endnote which would have automatic 
compression.


thanks
