RW: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 14 16 18 (as attachments) 19 (as RefShare folders); 20 can receive RSS and send feeds Bscp: 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 (also directly from the web, called 'Internet' function using its own browser) 9 10 (Internet Module as a note or reference; with MS-IE also related graphics are saved) 11 12 14 (15 only in the Library edition: not reviewed here) 16 18 (+ specific Charts module to create, modify link charts) 19, 20: Charts, Notes, Tasks are distinct modules; BiblioWord is its own word processor; Web Publishing: read and write, see Other features.
It works with different scripts like Hebrew, Cyrillic, Arabic, JKC: you set your machine to "International settings: " e.g. Korean, and can enter Korean characters, display them and use them within queries to retrieve records: not tested: it is not full UNICODE compliant BK: : 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 (see 19) 9 11 12 14 16 [18 see below 3.8]
19 Can work with companion software Reference Miner. The latter searches Amazon (DE, US, UK) or PubMed, Library of Congress: drag and drop retrieved records into Bookends without need to convert
LM: 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 11 (not from within the wp) 12 14 16

As for 15: a "Library Catalog" database structure is also available, with fields for borrower's name and due date. You can search and print a report for overdue items, but there are not circulation procedures, or the relationship between bibliographic records and borrowers' records
Pr:

For Palm OS devices functionality see Identity card;
18: can include graphics within each reference, as a thumbnail when record is opened; graphics will be referred to in MS-WORD formatted manuscript, also containing dedicated list of figures (see section 13); can also include objects like spreadsheets or presentations documents; each db record can contain only one figure or object; dedicated record fields and edit command to store graphics / objects and the relevant captions; copy of the graphics / objects files is stored in a db subdirectory; graphics / objects cannot be exported; 20: (a) can send data to a data visualization tool for statistical analysis (i.e. RefViz® http://www.refviz.com/ ); (b) can use OpenURL; (c) Unicode compliant as far as entering, importing, sorting and displaying characters (based on MS-Windows) see Other features

2. Internal database management
   1. Rebuild
   2. Compress (release space)
   3. Statistics

RW: 1 + backup; 3 on usage, activity ... Bscp: 1 and update index BK:1 2 and reindex
LM: 1 2 (as 1)

Pr:
1 2 (as 1)

Rebuild makes a copy and releases disk space; retains Groups and Stopwords of original database, but removes its Record list's configuration

En:
2 via recover library + Send to compressed library
By compressing it includes in one .enlx file data subfolders also with images, web archives and any 'attachments'
RM
1; 2 (as 1); 3
Rebuild does not need to make a copy, releases disk space, it retains Reference Indexes (Groups) and brief record list configuration
3: File Properties gives in addition to standard properties: sort criterion and order (A/D), character set sort, total record number, total number of entries for authors, kw, periodical titles and dates, highest RefID
Papyrus:
2; 3

3. Functions across different databases
   1. search
   2. print
   3. global corrections
   4. duplicate detection
   5. manuscript formatting

RW: n.a.: only one database per user is available Bscp: none BK: none LM: none Pr: 5 En: 5 (while formatting a manuscript via CWYW can search more than one opened db) RM: 1; 2; 3; 4; 5
to use multiple database, sort criterion and order must be the same; can act across 15 database; can display -not use- combined term lists Papyrus: none

4. Database subsets
    1. marked records
    2. virtual sets

RW: (1 only on the fly) 2 (folders and My list) Bscp: 1, 2 (three types of "Folders": for records, for Notecards records -different from notes field- and for dynamic searches directly pointing to records) BK: 1 hit/marked list 2 groups LM: 1 (not across sessions) 2 Pr: 1 2 ("groups") En: none: no marked records or groups of virtual records RM 1 (disappear when database is closed) 2 ("reference indexes": they must be first selected as a filed and searched as such via theri name to display the records they point to) Papyrus: 2

5. Other library functions
   (e.g. acquisitions, periodicals control, circulation, statistics)
    1. built-in
   2. can integrate

RW: no Bscp: only in the Library edition: not reviewed here, which includes Catalog, Serials,Circulation, Interlibrary Loan, Borrowers, Lenders, and Suppliers BK: no LM: no Pr: no En: no RM: no
just a few statistics, see above in "Internal db management"
Papyrus: no

6. Data type that can handle
   1. textual (also ANSI table chars 128-255, link to external proprietary files like PDF ...)
    1.1 UNICODE compliance
    2. numeric
    3. graphic
    4. audio

RW: 1, 1.1 , 3-4 as record attachments or linked resources Bscp:1 (2: fields can be numeric, but not directly used to compute) 3 in the Charts module 4 as OLE objects, attachment BK: : 1 (1, 2, 3, 4 any document type as attachment)
you can view any QuickTime compatible graphic without leaving Bookends and switching to the relevant application; this includes all popular graphic formats, pdf preview --in OS X--, and QT movies
LM: 1 2 3 OLE; 4 OLE
can format, sort and search in a special way: dates, call numbers, names, references to literature sources
Pr: 1; 3 OLE; 4 OLE
2: can format and sort Dates and Call number in a special way: for dates, chronological value underneath format; for classification codes: first LCCN, then DDC, then digits, then letters
En: 1, 1.1: can handle Unicode characters sets; can link -also by drag and drop- to- PDF and URL in 2 specific fields, but in fact it's up to you what to put in those fields: .txt .doc .gif .rtf .htm... and whatsoever; can automatically copy PDF and other attached files to a data subfolder so that their address becomes relative and they can travel with the main record database
3: incorporates thumbnails of graphics in the edit record view, not in the formatted preview; graphics can be incorporated in MS-WORD manuscripts; 3 and 4 also external via Windows Shell RM: 1; 3 OLE; 4 OLE; can link to -and then open- PDF and URL in 5 specific fields, but in fact it's up to you what to put in those fields: .txt .doc .gif ... and whatsoever
Papyrus: 1;
[2 recognizes numeric value of fields but does not compute]; 3 can display, print export graphics within records (as long as PICT representation is included in original graphic), other format files can be linked via external applications; 4 via external applications

7. Command macros

they were available in the DOS version
