Refs 6.32
=========

17 August 1993

Introduction
------------

Refs is a 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.

Refs can also import data files in other formats, in an easily expandable
way.  Modules are supplied to read ISI and Medline files.

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.

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.  Use
   File, Properties... in File Manager to find the date the file was created.

4. Copy REFS.INI into either your WINDOWS directory or the same directory as REFS.EXE
   This is important.  Certain parts of Refs will not work correctly if REFS.INI cannot be
   found, or is incomplete.

5. That's it.
