Dear Jerome,

Thanks for your quick response, and apologies for not being more
explicit.

I'm attaching a minimal bib file and rsc file to reproduce the problem.
Running

    bibtool -r bibtoolrsc < test.bib

produces

    *** BibTool ERROR: Invalid separator specification.

    @Book{            Adams.Fournier,
      author        = {Adams, Robert A. and Fournier, John J. F.}
    }

With earlier versions it used to produce

    @Book{            AdamsFournier,
      author        = {Adams, Robert A. and Fournier, John J. F.}
    }

(i.e. the key is supposed to be "AdamsFournier" and not
"Adams.Fournier")

Best,

GI
