Hey, Aaron. Thanks for the suggestions. I had noticed those, but
packages but hadn't realized that they were actually (supposedly) drop
in replacements for bibtex. Unfortunately they're not really, and both
of them fail to compile bibliographies that compile fine with bibtex
(see pastes below). Time to file some bugs!
Anyone able to get either of these to work? Or have any other
suggestions?
