Refs 7.54
========

22 January 1994

Introduction
------------

Refs is a compact program for creating browsing and maintaining
academic reference databases.  It occupies about 285k of hard disk
space.  The program uses the common ASCII Unix refer file format and
so is compatible with Unix refer, and also bibliography programs such
as WinRefer.

Refs can also import data files in other formats, in an easily
expandable way.  Modules are supplied to read ISI, Chemical Abstracts,
Current Contents and Medline files, and the help file includes details
for writing your own modules.

The program will work with Windows 3.1 or higher.

What's new
----------

Mostly bug-fixes, but now included are DLLs for Spanish and German
use, plus changes to the bibliography format syntax allowing nesting
of tokens, so you can have completely separate formatting for books
and journals, for example.
