Which is it? Do you want to match your output, or match your
description? Your description would result in:
@INBOOK{Ackermann1999-b,
author = {Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and
Ackermann,
K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F.
and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and
Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and
Ackermann,
Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and Ackermann, K.-F. and
Ackermann},
year = {1980},
timestamp = {1995-12-02}
}
(that's doing it by eyeball, so i may have missed some minor differences)
