Macintosh Hypercard Stack for managing a BibTeX bibliography

I have written Yet Another Bibliography Stack for BibTeX, the bibliography
system used by the TeX typesetting language. Called HyperBibTeX, it serves 
as a database front-end for BibTeX and permits the expected functions 
including data entry, sorting, and searching. The stack permits full export to 
and import from BibTeX files (so existing BibTeX bibliographies can quite 
easily be imported). I have paid special attention to safegarding the security
and integrity of the data in the stack. The features that I hope will separate 
this stack from the rest of the pack include:

  * mark/unmark cards using the search function;
  * export all cards or just marked ones;
  * authority lists for fields with recurring data (author, journal, publisher,
    etc.);
  * data entry from authority lists by point and click;
  * commands for verifying field contents against the authority lists;
  * a Keywords field with its own authority list;
  * a pop-up annotation field;
  * full support of BibTeX abbreviation strings.

I would like to give this stack to a few beta testers before I foist it upon
the general public (it will be freeware). Please respond to me directly and
I will e-mail it to you (I can't offer an ftp site).
