[Papyrus-L] Corrupt File

[Dave Goldman]

William --

If you email me your LAST.BIB file, I should be able to decrypt your access code for you.

It will probably take me a couple of days, though, as I'll have to figure out a way to get the file onto my ancient PC that holds the necessary tools.

I think Andrew has the right idea in suggesting Utilities, which I can’t yet access. Perhaps someone will have a suggestion on how to reveal the high level access code or how to over ride it.

I can’t access about 80 references by edit reference #,  list reference number, or by keyword list, but can get them by edit: author, so I know they are there.  Also, The CoAuthor List doesn’t retrieve some coauthors in papers retrievable by author id’s. In a separate problem, the  reference manager doesn’t recognize my printer, which is different from one previously used successfully. I would appreciate if any one has any suggestions that might work.
