- I was one of the original IBID. orderers but I never got hooked on it. It
- seemed to cause so many problems to SLS and everything else. Everytime I called
- Dragonfly (the old days), they would say, "Do you have IBID?" And then, "Oh
- that explains it; let us send you a update disk." I have so many IBID fixes and
- updates that I found it easier when I had to reinstall NB and SLS once to NOT
- reinstall Ibid. People here seem to speak so highly of it that I have to
- reconsider. Have they every fixed it so that it can drop a reference into a
- footnote to be formatted according to your footnote deltas? That's what I was
- waiting for? Do people in like fields ever share bibliographies? Are there,
- e.g. people in Old Testament/Hebrew Bible who share diskettes like baseball
- cards? Should I come back to the IBID. fold (just in time to experience a whole
- new series of obstacles with NB4 Lingua?)
