Dear Bibtex experts,

    I am looking for a Bibtex ".bst" format that will print references in
the form:

1. Last name of the first author (or editor), concatenated with
2. a dash, concatenated with
3. the last two digits of the year of publication;
   plus in case of duplicate labels (same last name & same year):
4. a period, concatenated with
5. an ordinal number (1, 2, 3, ...)

For example:

    [Einstein-92]
    [Jones-88.2]

    The closest I have found (in several TeX archives) is a shell script
called "makebst.sh", which is supposed to create a format called "long",
which is close to what I described above, but without the dash and the
extensions.  Unfortunately, after creating and using "long.bst", it gives
long lists of error messages like:

1 is an integer literal, not a function, for entry Einstein-92
while executing---line 721 of file long.bst

which seems like a bug to me, since it works fine for the standard ".bst's".
Besides that, I prefer the order of the entries in the references themselves
to be the same order as they are listed in the ".bib" files in question.

In case the order has to be "hard coded", this is the order I prefer:

@InProceedings{label-99.1,
%       Key          = "",
        Author       = "",
        Title        = "",
        Journal      = "",
        Special      = "",
        Type         = "",
        BookTitle    = "",
        Editor       = "",
        Edition      = "",
        Series       = "",
        Volume       = "",
        Number       = "",
        Chapter      = "",
        Pages        = "",
        School       = "", 
        Organization = "",
%       Location     = "",
%       Dates        = "",
        Institution  = "",
        Publisher    = "",
        Address      = "",
        Month        = "",
        Year         = "",
%       IEEECN       = "",
%       LoCN         = "",
%       ISBN         = "",
%       ISSN         = "",
%       Language     = "",
        HowPublished = "",
        Annote       = "",
        Note         = "" }

Since I have no experience with Bibtex programming, digging into the
code was to no avail. I am therefore asking for your help.
    Thanking you in advance,

P.S. I have also looked in the TeX-index, but no ".bst" seems close enough.
