Re: Combining all libraries & using groups?

So, how good is the grouping function in procite? I've never used it
before, and searching for screenshots and the like on the web came up
empty. I suppose I could download a demo, but I hate to muck up my
newly re-installed OS with more junk that never gets uninstalled
properly. Are there any major downsides to using procite instead of
endnote? I saw the comparison chart and nothing seemed to be a
deal-breaker.

Also, it sounds like ISI should merge their endnote, procite and
reference manager product lines, eh? Hard to see the point of having 3
semi-functional products out there, when they could have one fully
functional one...
