EndNote+ fails to import
#1813

I have installed EndNote+ on my SE + Railgun accelerator + Virtual (virtual
memory) + System 6.0.5 + various INITs.  It seems to be OK with established
libraries, but it doesn't Import Refer format properly.  When I choose
Import, it does *not* show Pro-Cite as an option, but only Refer/BiblX.
When I choose the file, the disk light flickers for a while (as if reading
the file), but no records are added to the database.  (I get the same result
if I disable Virtual.)  However, on a IIci with similar setup except for 
System 7, the Import shows a choice between Pro-Cite and Refer/BiblX, and 
the import of Refer format file works fine.

Any suggestions on what's wrong?

I have tracked down the problem - it is a conflict with SuperBoomerang.
The full story is that on an SE with System 6.0.5 + Finder 6.1.5 +
SuperBoomerang 3.0.2, (with or without the accelerator), the import format
list does *not* include Pro-Cite.  Having omitted that, the Refer format
becomes the first on the list and it gets confused with the Pro-Cite 
(which is normally first).

The conflict with SuperBoomerang does not occur on a IIci with System 7.
