While I was learning latex, I read somewhere that this is better than writing explicit names for the month as the bst file can then choose whether to use long names or short names. It is also possible to choose the month names according to the language of the main document. I followed that advice and now I have HUGE bib file with such enteries. However, the bib module does not support this naming scheme. I get \month{1} \month{2} etc in my bbl file. Can this be corrected? This is not urgent at all, as I can correct everything in my editor, changing \month{1} to \month{Jan.} or \month{January} depending on what citation style I want. It will be nice if the context bst style did this by default. Aditya -- Aditya Mahajan, EECS Systems, University of Michigan http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~adityam || Ph: 7342624008
