• Papyrus should work under Windows XP just as it does under those other versions of Windows. The suppliers instructions for installing Papyrus and creating a shortcut icon for it under Windows NT/2000/XP are available at http://www.ResearchSoftwareDesign.com/DOS.html
• Important News (12 October 2001):
  Research Software Design no longer plans to develop further versions of Papyrus. They have been working for the past several years on a full Windows version of Papyrus. Unfortunately, they no longer have the resources to continue this project, which remains far from completion. They also have no current plans to produce a native Macintosh OS X version of Papyrus, nor a Linux version. They will continue to sell and support the current editions of Papyrus -- Version 7.0.16c for DOS/Windows and Version 8.0.10 for Macintosh.
• Papyrus is year 2000 compliant Papyrus Year 2000 details (Dec 98)

• Installing and maintaing Papyrus Word 6 format.
• Papyrus on NT and Windows95 (installation, mouse and citing) written Jun 1998, updated Aug 2000 for vertical bar, Jul 2001 more mouse problems
• When installing on Windows 2000, Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. PAPYRUS will now install itself onto your computer. The installation program will ask your permission before making any changes to your system.
  *** NOTE: When Papyrus asks you about making changes to your ***
  *** AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, be sure to choose ***
  *** "Bypass these changes". *** This is because autoexec.bat and config.sys files are not used in Windows 2000. If you choose the option to edit the files, Papyrus will not be installed
  
  • Do install the PAPYRUS programs in C:\PAP. This is because the PIF editor is not installed- this has the repurcussions that various files can not be found when Papyrus is run, because one can not edit the pap.pif file to tell it the new location.
• Papyrus always creates WordPerfect files. Microsoft Word has always done a better job of reading WordPerfect files than of reading old versions of Microsoft Word files. The Word converter for WordPerfect files used to be a part of the standard Word installation. It is now an optional piece of the Word package. You must install the WordPerfect converter from the CD-ROM to be able to cite and read list files.
• make sure that when citing, that you choose ref# in the top cite as choice, and for the paste option, do not choose pap_res (this is for DOS) but replace clipboard file (or append)

Updating Papyrus (Top of page)

• 7.0.12 to 7.0.13
• 7.0.13 to 7.0.16 7.0.15 is ealiest version for Word 97
• 7.0.15 to 7.0.15b
• 7.0.15a to 7.0.15b
• 7.0.15b to 7.0.16
• 7.0.16 to 7.0.16a
• 7.0.16a to 7.0.16c 7.0.16c is earliest for Word 2000

1. Move the p16AtoC.exe file to the directory that contains your PAPYRUS program files. For most of you this will be C:\PAP\.
2. From the C:\PAP\ prompt, type p16AtoC. The patch will then apply itself, modifying your PAP.EXE and PAP.OVR files to bring them up to Version 7.0.16c.

The next time you launch PAPYRUS you will see the 7.0.16c version number displayed.

Version 7.0.16c is the first version to work with Word 2000. If you use Text extract with version 7.0.16a and Word 2000, you will find that although the text extract appears to be successful, you will not be able to open the resulting output file due to apparent permission problems. Updating to 16c will cure this.
The import function has been modified to enable importing from ISI Web of Science (see below).

Version 7.0.16a fixes the remaining problems with "Text Extract" and Word 97.

Version 7.0.16 includes a fix to a long-standing problem with the indexing of very large PAPYRUS databases, with 30,000 references or more.

Version 7.0.15b differs from Versions 7.0.15 and 7.0.15a in fixing a few problems with "Text Extract" and Word 97.

Version 7.0.15 differs from Version 7.0.14a in adding support for Word 97 in the PAPYRUS "Text Extract" option. Remaining problems fixed that previous versions of PAPYRUS sometimes had with Word 6.0 and Word 7.0.

Tutorials and Reference documents (Top of page)

We have written a series of tutorials and reference materials for Papyrus:

• Tutorial 1: Practical introduction (windows 3.1 and 95 version) takes 1/2 day and covers input of references. Word 6 format

Formats for Papyrus (Top of page)

• Refs-medline format (added Jul 2001)
• BIDS ISIS standard formats when using web interface (added Nov 98). Note that since some of the authors are in upper case and some in mixed case I have provided 2 formats. It is best to select download format and then the Manchester formats can be used. Note that you will have to edit the ISI format to take mixed case surnames. A mixed case format will be able to import upper case names, but an upper case format will not be able to import mixed case names
