Sure, will do. I think it should be possible to do this on a windows PC and Mac as well because there's not much to it. Jabref is a java app, so no worries there. I use the scribble merging tool posted elsewhere on mobileread for the merges (java again). jabref makes it easy to specify "associations" and I have just created some very simple scripts that could be rewritten as batch files.

The thing that makes it all so simple now is samba which was contributed recently on mobileread. For (windows?) users who don't know what this is, it setups up linux directories as windows shares. So this should also work fine with a windows PC.

I might not have time for a full howto until next weekend.
