[Papyrus-L] PAPYRUS, windows XP, Clare Imholtz, and Endnote.

[Sampson,David]

I echo Raisa's comments about Papyrus success under Windows 2000, use of Papyrus numbers for filing, and continuing reliance on Papyrus compared to other packages

You're wrong - Papyrus runs just fine under Windows 2000.  Look at the 
instructions on the Research Software Design web site.  We've installed it 
on several machines with no problems at all.
Now, as for the Retriever, I'm not as sure.  Certainly, my attempt to 
install it gave some strange results - Dave, any advice?
I still hope for some reprieve - we use our Papyrus numbers for the filing 
system, so any package which doesn't store the Papyrus numbers as fixed 
entities won't work for us.  So, I'm still sticking with Papyrus as 
well.  But I'd like to get members of our extended research group there as 
well, and it's hard to tell people to buy a package without some sense of 
ongoing support.  So, what should I tell them?
(The biggest gap we've found, BTW, is the ability to support long file 
names, and foreign characters.  So, if you could just get those features 
in, ....)
