[Papyrus-L] Papyrus: Windows a plea from the heart

[Lori McNiven]

Hi there, 

I also would like to agree with all of the recent messages concerning a
Windows version of Papyrus. I have been using this program for several years
now and also have well over 10,000 references in my database. The hospital I
work for is trying to switch me over to Endnote, but I am fighting this for
as long as possible. An incredible number of hours have been spent setting
up this database to work exactly as I want and I have been using it with
Windows (first Windows 98 and now Windows 2000) for some time now and have
not noticed any problems. 

I believe in the old adage "if it ain't broke....don't fix it!!". I do think
that a Windows version of Papyrus might "unruffle some feathers", so would
be extremely grateful to hear that one might be possible sometime soon!!
