The current version of EndLink (EndNote importation module) supports the
GeoRef format. Without EndLink EndNote can import only ProCite Export and
Refer/BIBX bibliographies. With EndLink it can import a variety of formats,
including many on-line and CD-ROM bibliographic databases.

GeoRef is a fairly dirty format, so the compatibility isn't perfect (I doubt
anything could import correctly all GeoRef formats) but it works fairly well.
