How does one parse authors with two word surnames in Endlink2?
The one I am having trouble with is:
 DE-CAL-A. PASCUAL-S-F.

I want that to become:
De Cal, A.
Pascual, S.F.

This is from Biosis previews.  All first and middle names in this database
are initials, therefore "CAL" must not be an initial because it is more
than one letter.  Uning the "initals only" mode, I get "De, C.A.L.A.",
because Endlink assumes three or more contiguous letters are initials.  I
want to tell it that contiguous letters are never initials. Thanks
