New upgraded versions of the harvard family of bibliography styles are available
in pub/harvard on archsci.arch.su.oz.au (129.78.66.1).

The following enhancements have been made:

- new macros \citeyear (thanks to Renate Schmidt (schmidt@mpi-sb.mpg.de) and
  \citename have been added
- citation styles agsm, dcu and kluwer have been altered so that author lists
  greater than length 2 are only abbreviated to the et al form if no confusion
  or ambibuity will result, e.g. 
    Smith, Jones and Bloggs (1980), and
    Smith, Jones and Abercrombe (1980)
  will not be abbreviated as they both abbreviate to Smith et al (1980). The
  previous versions of the styles would have abbreviated these to
  Smith et al (1980b) and Smith et al (1980a). These changes have been made in
  response to a number of postings lamenting this behaviour.
- as a side affect of this change *.bbl files will be smaller as the optional
  abbreviated citation is now only used if the abbreviated citation differs from
  full citation.
- the documentation has been changed as necessary

The relevant files are:
  harvard.sty - new macro package
  harvard.tex - documentation
  harvard.bib - necessary bib file for harvard.tex
  agsm.bst, dcu.bst, kluwer.bst and nederlands.bst - bibtex style files

P.S. Thought is being given to the use of initials to disambiguate names.

P.P.S. Other suggestions for enhancements to the harvard family are welcomed.
       Of particular relevance are *.bst files for styles that are similar to
       but not identical to those already provided.
