Abstract
REFEREE is a general-purpose bibliographic database management program for IBM-compatible microcomputers. The program is ideal for maintenance of large, master databases from which lists of citations on desired topics frequently must be drawn. REFEREE databases exist as proprietary-format disk files. The program allows entry of information manually and automatically. Each record in a REFEREE database contains 9 fields. Seven of the fields are variable-length free-text fields that have essentially no format requirements; each can extend to nearly 6000 characters when necessary. All fields can be renamed to suit the user's needs. Up to 1 million records theoretically can be stored in a single REFEREE database: the actual maximum number depends on the amount of disk space available. Stored records can be viewed, modified, searched, sorted, printed, moved between REFEREE databases, and exported to dBASE.DBF files. By default, records are displayed and printed in a format that includes the names and contents of all 9 fields; the user may define custom formats.
