Darrel Hankerson, hank@ducvax.auburn.edu, responded with the following  
suggestion which requires modification to the bibliographical entries:

I am also interested constructing an author index from the bibliography  
information. 

Unfortunately, I tuned in to this newsgroup too late to see the previous  
discussion.  I looked through the suggested tex index (thank you D.M. Jones!)  
as well as the files at ymir but was unable to find anything that might do what  
I need.  Perhaps I just overlooked something.  Could someone suggest something  
which works with BibTex and one of the author-year citation bst/sty files---we  
are currently using `chicago'.

Thank You
