I am quite happy about BibDesk which does incredible things in connection with LaTeX. It does so for quite a while and the developers have come up with so many new ideas all the time when one thinks hey this cannot be any better. At the heart of the problem is still La TeX and everything which evolves around it: it is technical, difficult (or at least with a steep learning curve). Bibdesk's part has been making a lot of things easier or feasible and free of cost! There is so much useful stuff (e.g. well designed and implemented) in it that at times important things might be overlooked (in my case the transparent handling of encodings, sth. which is difficult to understand independently of LaTeX, BibDesk or else by this humble mind). But this for this BibDesk's or its developer's are not to blame. I hope the BibDesk-project can continue! Unfortunately I cannot be of any help since I am no programmer… Greetings, many thanks, Rolf -- Rolf Schmolling M.A. Historian, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rolf_schmolling.macbay.de/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
