transfering Reference Manager (DOS) files to Endnote-MAC

I am thinking about purchasing Endnote.  My situation is that I have been using
Reference Manager for a DOS machine, and I like it fine except for the one
fatal flaw that it will allow you to only maintain one database larger than
200 references.
Since I am going to be purchasing a Mac at my new job, it seems like a good
time to switch to Endnote.
Before I do, however, I want to be sure that I can transfer my reference file.
I would not want to lose all that work.
I have made one attempt by outputting a Reference Manager text file (with the
standard field titles- eg AU, TI, etc.), translating the file from DOS to Mac
format with Apple-Link, and than loading the file via Endlink as a text file
into EndNote (on an acquaintance's machine who owns Endnote and was demoing
it for me).  Every field transfered fine EXCEPT the journal titles- they
were completely blank in the Endnote database- nothing came through.  Does
anyone else have experience with this problem, or suggestions about a better
way to do this?
thanks
