History
=======
Nov 1994 - started coding
20th April 1995 (Beta-test version 1.0) - Tested by Dr. Adrian Radulescu
with 1000+ references and by the author with 600+ refs.
7th May 1995 (Beta-test version 1.1) - Increase the number of author
fields from 8 to 10 (I haven't got any with nearly this number but Adrian
assures me it should handle 12 - we compromise on 10 for technical
reasons). Removal of potential bug in compacting and indexing. Refinement
of presentation. Add archiving and style default/restore.
18th May 1995 (Release version 1.0)
29th May 1995 (Version 1.0a) - Evaluation suggested several minor changes
to presentation including the use of unique identity numbers to identify
citation records. Improvements to the manual. Previous data files NOT
compatible - archive to import.
10th June 1995 (Version 1.0b) - Problem with memory transfer and
!Techwriter circumvented. New "options" file with memory_transfer ON/OFF,
archive_#ID ON/OFF, left_bracket, right_bracket features. Also includes
Journals List which is presented and loaded more cleanly. Compiled with
latest version of SBase (ver 2.3). Previous data files compatible.
July 1995 (Version 1.0c) - Changed author surname/inital assumptions.
Initials are now considered to be all characters after the last space in
any author string. This should assist with handling of complex names.
Option to include "and" before penultimate author on output included.
Spaces removed from format string after use. Additional config options to
select "&" or "and" in export drag and penultimate author separator. Book
format added. Bug removed from "restore styles" option. Previous data
files compatible.
Future Additions
----------------
If there is enough interest in this package I plan to add several
features, for example:
i) Scanning a manuscript text to automatically extract references and
assemble a citation list.
ii) Detection of duplicate citations in a library.
