Refs 6.0 ========= 22 July 1993 Introduction ------------ Refs is a simple program for creating browsing and maintaining academic reference databases. The program uses the common ASCII Unix refer file format and so is compatible with Unix refer, and also bibliography programs such as WinRefer. It is shareware, and the distribution should contain the following files: REFS.EXE The program itself REFS.HLP The help file REFS.INI INI file TEST.REF Example Unix refer data file IMPBIDS.DLL BIDS (ISI) Import DLL IMPMED.DLL Medline Import DLL BWCC.DLL Borland's custom control library README.TXT This file The program will work with Windows 3.1 or higher. Changes since Refs 5.11 ---------------------- * Import of other database formats. BIDS and Medline supplied. Help file includes instructions on how to write your own import libraries. * Menu-based cut-and-paste in reference form * Reference insertion is faster * File loading is faster * Author name and keyword handling is more flexible * Minor corrections to interface behaviour * Help file can launch notepad for editing of REFS.INI Installation ------------ You will need PKUNZIP 2.04 or later to extract this file. 1. Copy the files REFS.HLP, REFS.EXE and TEST.REF into any directory. TEST.REF is merely an example data file and may be deleted. 2. Copy IMPBIDS.DLL and IMPMED.DLL to the same directory, or another directory on the path. If you do not require these DLLs, delete them and remove their entries in REFS.INI. 3. Copy BWCC.DLL into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If you have a more recent version already from another program, use that, and ignore this step. 4. Copy REFS.INI into your WINDOWS directory. This is important. Certain parts of Refs will not work correctly if REFS.INI is not there, or is incomplete. 5. That's it.
