	I'm curious, what do you want to do that EndNote won't let you?  I
havn't actually used EndNote, but was very impressed with the demo version.
We make extensive use of bib on our unix systems and the lack of bib
fuctionality on the Mac has been the biggest reason we havn't switched to
macs for most of our word processing.  EndNote was obviously designed by
somebody who was used to using bib and/or refer.  We are on the verge of
making a serious investment in EndNote (i.e. many copies) and would
appreciate hearing about why that might be a mistake before we go ahead and
plunk down our money.
