Has anybody had experience with Library Master and/or Bibliofile? They are both
bibliographic database programs with a tilt toward the academic, except that
the first is commercial and the second shareware. I have eschewed Reference
Manager because it is inflexible and will not accomodate sources other than
scientific ones (e.g., NY Times, Atlantic) although it has lots of good
features. ProCite I phoned for information well over a month ago and it has not
been sent--a good indication of their future support. At present I use Tracker
which is stack-oriented, slow and limited in report formatting, but otherwise
has much to recommend it.  Only after one has committed oneself and used a
program for some time does one realize its limitations and klutziness. Library
Master claims major advantages over all the others, and Bibliofile requires a
lot of work to get decoded and installed properly, andhen one is not certainin
whether it is better than most shareware. Please share your experience and
evaluation with any of these programs. --
