I found the place to add the extra space between
initials in the isifile module:

                     name, firstn = string.split

                     auth = name + ', '
                     for i in string.strip(firstn):
-                        auth = auth + i +'.'

+                    auth = auth.strip()
                 group.append (Fields.Author(auth))
             in_table['author'] = group
             del lines[key]                  
---------------------------

This builds up a list holding each author as an item.
So the separator ';' or 'and' probably gets inserted
at a later point in the processing, possibly when
writing in bibtex format.

Changing the separator requires more knowledge of the
program than I currently have.

Regards,
Stefan
