[texhax] DIN for BibTeX

[John Wiedenhoeft]

Dear Phil,

thanks for pointing me to that part of the file. It is problematic to 
use volume here. Additionally, the counting of the publishers is 
somewhat strange and confusing, since they count a serial number (147), 
which splits into volumes (37) and numbers (2). The bibfile must be:

@Book{Millar72,
   Author         = {Millar, W. Stuart},
   Title          = {A {S}tudy of {O}perant {C}onditioning under 
{D}elayed {R}einforcement in {E}arly {I}nfancy},
   Publisher      = {The University of Chicago Press},
   Series         = {Monographs of the Society for Research in Child
                    Development},
   Number         = {147 = 37/2},
   Address        = {Chicago},
   year           = 1972
}

returning:

Millar, W. S.: A Study of Operant Conditioning under Delayed 
Reinforcement in Early Infancy. Chicago : The University of Chicago 
Press, 1972 (Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development 
147 = 37/2)

Best regards,

John Wiedenhoeft
