Paul,

I view/edit the database .bib file in emacs. It's all plain ASCII text.

Regardless, there're no secrets in my scientific references database. I just
uploaded a copy to fileconvoy from where it can be downloaded over the next

I'd sure like to get this all fixed once-and-for-all.

Thanks,

Rich
