Re: [Refdb-users] btparse libraries and bib2ris

[David K. <to...@xt...>]

Bib2ris is functional now Markus, once I reminded myself how to update
libraries after an installation of btparse. Using bib2ris I was able to
convert some existing bibtex .bib files and proceeded to learn more
about using refdb. I am having some problems of the "cannot connect to
server" type when running refdbib or runbib but right now I put this
down to late night fatigue. Refdba is free of the "cannot connect to
server" problem right now. Will report progress.
regards David
