Thank you for your reply, Csikos. Let me simplify my question a bit. What I need is a combination of
-- "abbrv" which abbreviates the authors' first names, and -- "alpha" which creates keys like [Tar56] which are short and readable as in the example in my previous email: [Tar56] A. Tarski. Logic, Semantics, Metamathematics.... I am hoping something like that already exists. Thanks, Mehrdad
