I'd recommend looking at WinRefer before you shell out too much cash.
I tried version 2.0 and was pretty impressed by it. I don't remember
if it is free or cheap shareware. Version 2.1 hasn't appeared at
ftp.cica.indiana.edu (129.79.20.84) yet but they have deleted the old
version from /pub/pc/win3/util so it should come soon.

I've just loaded a slightly amended version of WinRefer into the
uploads directory of CICA as winrefer.zip. We are now at version 2.1.
WinRefer is a reference management system running under Windows 3.x
(preferably 3.1). It is intended for people writing books or papers
who want to search a database of references for citations.
WinRefer supports the following features:
o simple but flexible user interface
o support for a number of popular reference
database file formats
o keyword and expression-based searching
o database indexing
o user-defined formatting conventions(*)
o bibliography generation
o plain text and Microsoft RTF formatting
o a DDE control interface
o ca template for use with Word for Windows(*)
Items marked (*) are new to this version, or have been extended.
WinRefer can deal with Unix refer, Chemical Abstracts, Medline and
Bath Information and Data Services (ISI) format reference databases -
BibTeX and ProCite support should be coming soon!
