[Corpora-List] adapting LaTeX bst files

[Suzan Verberne]

Dear all,

As an editor of conference proceedings, I am adapting a LaTeX bst
(bibliography style) file. I succeeded in a number of small changes
but now I am facing a problem:

I want to achieve that in the running article text, more than 3
authors are abbreviated as "xxx et al". Therefore, I need to adapt the
function format.names in the bst file. But if I add such a function to
my bst file (there was none), I get the error message:

format.names is already a type "wizard-defined" function name

What does this mean? I cannot find any information on this on the web.
Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Suzan Verberne
