[Papyrus-L] FAU field in PubMed

[Victoria Holt]

Hi John,

As we use Pubmed all the time, we'd be very grateful for a copy of the executable version of your workaround.

I have a general workaround that I'll send to anyone who wants it.

 It is a quickbasic program and you can have the executable or the .bas file

it is called, lamely, "pubmed" and what it does is process "Medline" format
output text files from PubMed.

It removes offending lines such as the FAU fields
It flags special words such as "alpha", "kappa" with an inverted question
mark so that you can check and change those in your word processor before
final version

The output has the same name as the input file, and can be read by Papyrus
using the PUBMED format

I've used it for years.  It is a DOS program but anyone person-enough to
handle Papyrus can handle it!  It is also pretty easy to modify for anyone
who knows BASIC.
