[Papyrus-L] migrating to Sente

[Ann Greer]

I  am not a sophisticated computer person and I left Papyrus PC for Mac
Classic about three years ago. I think the goal is to get to BibTex which it
appears to me from my long transitional search has become pretty standard
input and output across programs. (I felt very comforted when I had created
a backup BibTex file of my references even before I actually moved from
Papyrus.) One thought is that you might export via another program that
accepts Papyrus and then move to BibTex from that program. My son moved from
Papyrus PC to End Note (used it for a year and hated it, tried several
others) and finally found Sente.
If you don't hear from someone in the Papyrus group on this, an email source
that I think could help is Dan Monge, <dan at macitpros.com> ,  a Mac
consultant I found online. He was very to me with a couple of old programs I
was trying to retain and his strategy at the time was to analyze the input
out put of Papyrus and other potential program.  His first several pieces of
advice were free in my experience and, if not he is very inexpensive and
does not charge anything until the problem is solved.
