[Papyrus-L] Papyrus and Vista

[Rodgers, John R.]

John,
   I've been pretty happy with EndNote- which now houses the original 60,000 references from my Papyrus collection. The lastest version- X1 ("11") has  a group feature that reproduces Papyrus' groups very nicely indeed.  The Boolean logic of searches in EndNote is cludgey and seems slow, but works,
and the group feature allows you to quickly form new groups and then search within them. 
     The cost is quite reasonable, and you can get version 10 at Ebay at a fraction of the cost of a new one.  
    Endnote works very nicely from within Word- if that is your word processor - not so well I think with WordPerfect.

I'm an enthusiastic user of Papyrus, but the
program is really unhappy with the unavoidable
Windows Vista. Vista won't allow "full screen"
mode with Alt+Enter, which allowed Papyrus to work
with windows XP.

Is there a subtle way to use Papyrus efficiently
on a computer with Vista? 

If not, can anyone recommend a more modern
bibliographic database program that will easily
accept thousands of Papyrus records?
