Hi Bruce,

are you sure you have to? I've just checked the UPGRADING file, and it  
reports no changes in the reference database schema since 0.9.6. I'd  
expect that you can continue to access your databases. Are there  
specific error messages that make you think so? Or did you  
accidentally hose the databases?

Adding more than one file at a time is supposed to work. However, the  
"*.ris" notation depends on shell expansion. I do not think that this  
works in interactive use. OTOH,

refdbc -C addref *.ris

should work ok. If it doesn't, it is a bug which I'll be happy to fix.

regards,
Markus
