Steve:

I can't speak to Endnote for windows but I did try the DOS version of
Endnote (within Windows) for a while before sending it back. I jumped
into Papyrus and have never looked back. One can import anything into
Papyrus with existing templates that are provided (no extra modules to
buy) or with a little effort, I can design my own template.

It is the most economical of the bunch.

Hope this helps,
David
