Preparatory to preparing a cumulative index of the first twelve volumes of
*The Australan Journal of Management*, we have input all articles in refer
format, with %A, %T, %V, %N, %P and %K fields.  In cases of multiple
authors there will be more than one %A field.  Most articles have more
than one %K field for multiple key-words or -phrases.  Obviously it is a
simple matter to create lists sorted -sA+T or -sTD, and with a bit of
tweaking with tmac.bib to print the list in the desired format.

I have two questions:

1.	Has anyone already developed tools (in C, in awk, in sed, in perl) to
	generate separate entries for the 2nd, 3rd, ... authors automatically?
	This would make the work much easier.  I'd expect that the new
	entries would resemble:

	%A Anoth R. Author2
	%T see Firs T. Author1
	%V 10
	%N 1
	%P 12\-55
	%D September 1988

	generated from
	%A Firs T. Author1
	%A Anoth R. Author2
	%T Whatever This Paper is Called
	%V 10
	%N 1
	%P 12\-55
	%D September 1988

2.	Has anyone already developed tools to sort under the various
	multiple %K fields, and to present the articles' citations in
	blocks, under a common keyword or keyphrase?

Any assistance gratefully received.  Responses via email will be summarised
to the newsgroup.  Thanks.
