I was finally able to connect to archsci.arch.su.oz.au machine to retrieve
Peter William's update to the Harvard style family he announced in
comp.text.tex on 7 September.  Below is the revised description file. 
Enjoy!

                                 HARVARD
                                 -------
The HARVARD package includes Peter Williams' <peterw@archsci.arch.su.OZ.AU>
Harvard family of bibliographic styles and documentation.  This package
reflects the update announced on 7 September 1992.  This family of styles
is primarily intended for use with the BibTeX bibliographic database
management system.  However, provision is also made for hand coding of
bibliographies.

There are two primary forms of citation in the Harvard style, dependent
upon whether the reference is used as a noun or parenthetically.  To
facilitate using a citation as a noun a new command \citeasnoun has been
created which has the same syntax as the \cite command except that multiple
citations are not permitted.  Additionally, where there are more than two
authors, all authors are listed in the first citation and in subsequent
citations just the first author's name followed by `et al.' is used. Where
appropriate, citations are abbreviated automatically after the first
reference when bibliographies are produced by BibTeX.  Provision is also
made for this feature to be accessed during manual coding.

There are four bibliography styles currently available within the Harvard
family:
 -- `agsm' which is based on "Style Manual for authors editors and printers
    of Australian government publications";
 -- `dcu' which is based upon the conventions in use in the Design
    Computing Unit, Department of Architectural and Design Science,
    University of Sydney;
 -- `kluwer' which aspires to conform to the requirements of Kluwer
    Academic Publishers; and 
 -- `nederlands' which conforms to Dutch conventions. 
They are invoked by the \bibliographystyle within LaTeX and effect the
layout of the entries in the bibliography.

In this update:
 -- new macros \citeyear and \citename have been added.
    *  \citeyear behaves like the \cite command except that only the year
       portion of the citation label is used.
    *  \citename behaves like the \citeasnoun command except that only the
       author name(s) (unabbreviated) portion of the citation label is
       used.
 -- citation styles agsm, dcu and kluwer have been altered so that author
    lists greater than length 2 are only abbreviated to the `et al.' form
    if no confusion or ambibuity will result, e.g. Smith, Jones and Bloggs
    (1980), and Smith, Jones and Abercrombe (1980) will not be abbreviated
    as they both abbreviate to Smith et al (1980). The previous versions
    of the styles would have abbreviated these to Smith et al (1980b) and
    Smith et al (1980a). These changes have been made in response to a
    number of postings lamenting this behaviour.
 -- as a side affect of this change *.bbl files will be smaller as the
    optional abbreviated citation is now only used if the abbreviated
    citation differs from full citation.
 -- the documentation has been changed as necessary.

To retrive the entire package of 7 files, including:
 SENDME HARVARD
in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@SHSU.BITNET (FILESERV@SHSU.edu). 
If, for some reason, you should only need one file, say, HARVARD.DCU_STY,
include:
 SENDME HARVARD.DCU_STY
in your request to FILESERV.  These files are available for anonymous ftp
retrieval, both individually and as a ZIP archive, HARVARD-SEP1992.ZIP, in
the directory [FILESERV.HARVARD] on Niord.SHSU.edu (192.92.115.8).
