Natbib cannot do this at all. I was talking about other packages of mine

(which I have never publically released). Here natbib was only meant as

one example of an additional package to meet journals' special requests,

in this case, author-year citation.



There has been a great deal said about my natbib package in this discussion.

I shall send out a short overview of it in a following message, for

those readers who have never used it.
