  // WARNING
  // This hasn't been tested extensively & can cause weirdness.  Give the data
  // a once over in a spreadsheet to confirm it looks OK before import!!!
  
  // This processes the text file produced by using refbase.ens in Endnote:
  //  - Fixes linefeeds, which Endnote can't handle well:
  //    - trims carriage returns
  //    - replaces newlines with '\n'
  //    - trims '<REFBASE>' from the start of each citation
  //    - replaces '</REFBASE>' with a newline character
  //  - Replaces '<REFBASE J/>' with 'Journal' (a Field Name in Endnote)
  //  - Inserts '\N' between multiple tabs (to explicitly NULL empty fields)
  //  - Replaces '<Go to ISI>://*\t' with '\N' (bad URLs in Endnote)

  // TODO:
  //  - Tabs within fields aren't replaced!  This can screw things up!
  //  - Allow people to change import & export filenames
  //  - More fields (particularly all dates, first author, number of authors)
  //  - Better parsing of current fields (correct use of 'ed' vs 'eds)
  //  - Automatically import via mysql (intentionally unimplemented for safety)
  //  - Deprecate this whole darn mess by adding native import facilities ;-)
