Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package allows you to make citations in the German style, which 
is considered by many to be particularly reader-friendly. The citation 
provides a small amount of bibliographic information in a footnote on 
the page where each citation is made.  It combines a desire to 
eliminate unnecessary page-turning with the look-up efficiency afforded 
by numeric citations.
