I know this has been discussed before, but when it was I wasn't paying any
attention.  Now I have a friend whose father is going to be buying a computer
soon to do extensive academic writing, and he asked me for a recommendation
(both for the hardware and the software).  Well, we all know which computer
I recommended, but what about the software?

What he most wants to automate is the conversion between bibliographic formats
(e.g., indentation, punctuation, order of entries, etc.).  Some journals want
one format, others want something completely different.  I've heard things
about Scholar's Aid... could some kind person send me more information?
Also, is there another, more appropriate program out there?

Any help would be appreciated.  I don't want my friend's Dad to end up with
a PC... :-)
