Need scientific article reference software

We are looking for bibliograhpic software for our science references. We had 
previously used PAPERBASE, a product from Wight Scientific in England. I was a DOS 
program originating in the mid 1980s. It was a fast and simple program that 
prompted you for entry of authors last names and initials, article, journal, year, 
etc. It's one outstanding point is that when it came to output, it had a large list 
of periodicals that it could output your list into, automatically changing the 
order authors, pages etc. It also had a customization option for those esoteric 
journals. However, this may not be appropriate any longer.

We need a program that does all the above, and are looking in addition, for one 
that is Windows based, and (wishfully) can also download references from the 
leading online science reference sources, i.e. Medline, Current Contents, 
Biological Abstracts, etc. Of course it must offer the variable output mentioned 
above that PAPERBASE had. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
