Re: [Jabref-users] NTRS Fetcher

Hi Rob,
   great! Do you want to provide a jar and a description (+link to a  
homepage) for the website?

How about after your fetcher has been announced, you drop the NTRS guys a  
note on these problems. Maybe the will fix some of these problems.

Thanks for the good work. Seems to work for me (with the noted  
limitations).

Cheers,
   Christopher
