frankenstein

[Christopher Jones]

Hey, in case anyone knows the frankenstein package... I have a question or two.
I'm trying to figure out the bibstyle--

1) @inbook and @incollection have crossreffs to an @book entry. The two entries
(@inbook/incollection and @book) both should appear in the References list,
seperately, even though the cite referred only to the @in*. They don't-- only
the @in* shows up. (I tried \nocite, but that didn't do the trick--maybe I
missed something?)

2) A work is edited and translated by the same (long list of) people. achicago
duplicates that list each time, when it should do it only once (with a 'ed. and
trans. XXX, XXX, ...'). 

3) I want the book to appear in the References list by author, but I want to
site it by translator/editor (two collections / translations of the same guy's
work), as in what happens with a list of abbreviations included at the
beginning of a work, or declared in the text "Leibniz, Ariew and
Garber (Henceforth, A.G.)" or some such, to be distinguished from "Leibniz, XXX
(Henceforth G.)". 

Looking through the documentation for the Frankenstein package, I see how this
might be possible, using incantations from the various packages Frankenstein
provides, but I fail to put those incantations together in a way that works. 

Once more, frankenstein

I need to cite things in a manuscript style. Thus, a work which gets full
citation appears in the References section or in a footnote, but needs to be
cited in the text with an abbreviation, like this: "(AG 245)". No comma. And I
need the following possibility as well: "(AG 245; G 34)". Now, I could jut type
out parentheses and put an abbreviation in them. I'll do that if I have to. But
a \cite command is more elegant and flexible.

I've basically decided I can't do this with frankenstein (which features the
achicago sty and bst files among others). What else can I use? I like the way
achicago makes my References. Or if I can do it with frankenstein then
someone please tell me how.
