[Papyrus-L] migrating to Sente

Actually, "another program" for this purpose would be the Mac version 
of Papyrus.

You can easily move a Papyrus database from the PC to the Mac version 
(instructions are in the Papyrus for Mac manuals), and the Mac 
version of Papyrus has a fairly sophisticated export-to-BibTeX 
feature.

The only challenge will be finding a Mac that can still run Papyrus, 
which is a Classic app. That means the Mac cannot be running a 
version of OS X newer than 10.4.

Alternatively, in the PC version of Papyrus you can create your own 
BibTeX output format. It's a pretty straightforward task. (I might 
have such a format lying around here somewhere, but I'm not sure how 
easy it will be for me to dig it up.)
