[Papyrus-L] Can anyone help a colleague?

[John Kiernan]

I'm still an active user of Papyrus. It runs very well under the 32-bit version of Windows 7. On a laptop with 64-bit Win7 it's necessary to use the DosBox emulator, which is less elegant. I would be happy to convert a set of .BIB files to plain text, but I see that several others have already offered to do so.
