To manage bibliographic db: Pybilographer http://www.pybliographer.org/ can also do medline searches, AFAIK not any other databases. JabRef http://jabref.sourceforge.net/ can also do medline searches, plus others Citeseer uses Java so is much bigger than Pyblilographer on a limited mem machine cheers Russell -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
