Well, that's where I am now. Both people can find the information cited. The
thing that's bothering me at the moment is that the formatting of the
citations isn't 100% consistent (1) between different Source Types or (2)
with a single published style. For instance, if the desired Style suggests
putting the person's name first, and I have it last (in an un-split CD), I
feel guilty of a Style Crime. <g>
