Gidday,

I think you are probably right - in the examples I picked up from the
APA guidelines just now at your instigation, no collection title is
supplied. I only sugested the change because it was, like CONF, treated
as @PROCEEDINGS and my change to the logic for determining @TYPE changed
@PROCEEDINGS to @INPROCEEDINGS for both CONF and HEAR.

(@PROCEEDINGS is used to reference the whole show, @INPROCEEDINGS for a
part of the show - like a paper in a conference)

So the change I made to @TYPE is wrong for HEAR.
It should be instead...

else if (strcmp(type, "CONF") == 0 ) {
       strcat(*(ptr_rendinfo->ptr_ref), "@INPROCEEDINGS{ ");
}
else if ( strcmp(type, "HEAR") == 0) {
       strcat(*(ptr_rendinfo->ptr_ref), "@PROCEEDINGS{ ");
}

Yes, you can trust me... ;-)
To be honest, I'm learning bibtex while I learn refdb. But, as you
suggest, it is the practical experience of actually using the package
that is most important.

Thanks again for your support.

Peace
Damien
