Reads the .enw tagged-export format specifically (File → Export → Output Style: "EndNote Export," not the styled bibliography). If the export starts with TY, that's RIS, not this - use the RIS tool instead. If it's PubMed's MEDLINE format with tags like PMID/FAU, that's NBIB.
The real fix: EndNote writes one %A line per author. A naive parser grabs only the first line or joins every %A into one comma-separated string, which BibTeX then renders as a single author with an absurdly long name. This keeps each %A separate and writes them with BibTeX's and separator - same treatment for editors (%E) and translators (%Y).
Second fix, same shape as the RIS tool: .enw has no citekey concept either, so this generates real lastnameYearWord keys instead of sequential numbers. EndNote has roughly 50 reference types; most converters recognize Journal Article and Book and dump the rest into @ misc - this maps Conference Paper (@ inproceedings), Book Section (@incollection), Thesis (@ phdthesis), Report (@ techreport), Manuscript (@ unpublished) properly, with a per-row override. DOI (%R) and URL (%U) preserved, character escaping and acronym brace-protection same as everywhere else.
Worth knowing: this reads .enw only, not the .enl binary library file - if you've got an .enl, open it in EndNote and export as "EndNote Export" first to get the .enw.
