hi,
	I have a couple of questions about the natbib package.
See the .tex and .bib files below.

1) Hampshire.and.Perlmutter.1990 comes out as 
              Hampshire II, J. B. and Perlmutter, B. A.
   is the references, which is good, but how do I stop it coming out as
          Hampshire II and Perlmutter (1990) in the text. 
                   ^^^^  
                     this looks very silly, and can't be correct! 

2) is there an easier way to get 
         Bishop (1995, chapter 6.8)
    than
       \citeauthor{Bishop.1995} (\citeyear{Bishop.1995}, chapter 6.8)

3) why doesn't \citeauthor{Bishop.1995} (\citeyear{Bishop.1995}, chapter 6.8) work unless
   there is a \cite{Bishop.1995} also in the document. I currently put \cite{Bishop.1995} it,
   get things working, and then remove it.

						thanks

You can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on
the continuing viability of FORTRAN.
