- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Cleanup release prior to some more significant work (I hope).  Please see README for full package descriptions and ChangeLog for changes.

Please note that a preformatted TeX Catalogue database describing these packages is at http://www.shore.net/~swift/latex/swift.db.  A web page of description like the TeX Catalogue descriptions is at http://www.shore.net/~swift/latex/.  

The most important changes are noted here:

all:  LPPL instead of GPL

* achicago.bst: Extensive revisions to documentation.  Thanks
to Panagiotis Louridas for pointing out a significant bug that
would indicate authors with the same last name as the same
with a 3-em dash in the bibliography.  Major version to 1;
reflects non-beta state.

* achicago.sty: Depends on slemph and verbatim too now, but
not relsize.

* newclude.sty: Move from unsupported to supported.  Extensive
documentation revisions.  Incorporation of includex package
(working yet?  includex still available).  Revision and
extension of hooks mechanisms.  Remove "group" option.

* tag.sto: Add 2d optional argument to \include.  Revise
documentation.

* titles.dtx: Changed: \booktitle -> \book, \journaltitle ->
\journal, \musictitle -> \music, \articletitle -> \article,
\playtitle -> \play, \crafttitle -> \craft.  Compatibility easily
retained in configuration file.  New: \species, \WrapquotesSN,
\WrapquotesDN, \WrapquotesSK, \nospacelist (abstraction of what
was hard-coded).

* titles.cfg: New: \newlet\longpoem\textitswitch
\newlet\film\textitswitch \newlet\essaytitle\Wrapquotes
\newlet\chaptertitle\Wrapquotes.

* moredefs.sty: Many documentation changes.  Change
implementation of \provideboolean and \newboolean to be
compatible with ifthen package.  Fix \prependto at macro
\g at prependto@macro so they work.  Fix check for defined macro
in \SaveName.  Fix \SaveName so it works.  Fix \GobbleO
\GobbleMO so they work.

* abbrevs.sty: Added emulation of acromake.sty.

* lips.sty: New: \BracketedLips, \olips, \Lips, mla package
option.

* compsci.sty: New: \file \email.  Add hyperlatex package
option.

* bits.sty: Requires letterhead package -- which I don't think I
distribute.  Aha, that's why this is "unsupported"!  It may be
usable with a dummy letterhead package.

* attrib.sty: Add \attribcitations.
