There's no substitution for doing a quick scan of your downloaded textfile
to look for these glitches.  I haven't found any quick fix of this
problem. You need to put in a comma after the author's final name.  The
same applies to hyphenated names and various multiples (eg van Duijn).

The other problem I get is when the author(or any other) field is blank.
This really stuffs up the importation sequence.  When you first import
(preferably to a temporary library) check the first and last references.
If they are OK then you don't need to check for blank fields.
