Thanks Margaret--

And yes, the intention was to follow the NSF types (except where NSF
doesn't offer a type that fits something that the committee feels strongly
about).
You guys will have to worry about how to get your systems to output that.
I'll worry about how to get it IN.

So probably we should use this approach:

@bachthesis{bachthesis,
  author       = {Firstname Lastname},
  title        = {The title of the work},
  school       = {The school of the thesis},
  year         = 1993,
  address      = {The address of the publisher},
  month        = 7,
  note         = {An optional note}
}


Thanks, Marty
