Problems with refer, on-line bibliography
Is anyone out there using refer either for writing papers or for
an online bibliography search? We have encountered two problems
and have two general questions.
1) When we try to retrieve several articles authored by the same person
refer comes back with: "Too many hits" and a list of the titles. What
we want are several full references.
2) When we try to retrieve many articles (all in a given subject, say)
the program barfs because several of the buffers are configured
too small (TLEN for example is set to 400 as distributed, but there
appear to be others). What happens if I need several pages worth?
What parameters need to be enlarged? This isn't obvious.
3) What happened to pubindex(I)?? We can't find it.
4) Is there a simple way to format references without searching them?

P.S. If anyone has any other online bibliography/reference systems,
I'd be interested in hearing from you, especially if they're available
for free.
