I think so too.

Furthermore from January 29th 2003 EPrints has a new tool available, named ParaTools 
It is an offshoot of OpCit and it can also be integrated into EPrints 2 - see:
http://software.eprints.org/docs/php/howto.php#how%20to:%20make%20the%20referencetext%20field%20link%20to%20the%20items%20referenced
for more information]

ParaTools is a set of Perl modules for the handling
of references. It includes:

 - Reference parsing modules and templates
 - Document parsing modules (Experimental)
 - OpenURL creation/processing routines
 - Parsing examples
 - Web Service examples

I have interested to implement ParaTools inside E-LIS which is supporting 2.1.1. 
EPrints pepper version

Sure! I am very pleased to show to Ed our operational archive.
I am leaving for Zurich, because I will take part to the Berlingen 
brainstorming on the Digital
Math Library project. I will came back next week.

Thank you to Ed and Thomas
