+This is ACOMPAT.BIB, a BibTeX database file for the `adaptable' style
+family, written by Hans-Hermann Bode (HHBODE at DOSUNI1.BITNET), that contains
+compatibility definitions for use with standard styles. Use acompat as the
+very first item---even before jourfull or jourabbr---in your \bibliography
+command when you have to typeset your new databases---relying on the
+adaptable styles---with the standard styles.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+First, we declare the \abfull switch that is defined by the adaptable
+styles. Here, it is unconditionally set to true which might not fit your
+needs (in this case, say \abfullfalse instead of \abfulltrue).
+
+@PREAMBLE{"\newif\ifabfull\abfulltrue"}
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Next, the strings for edition numbers are defined.
+
+@STRING{first="First"}
+@STRING{second="Second"}
+@STRING{third="Third"}
+@STRING{fourth="Fourth"}
+@STRING{fifth="Fifth"}
+@STRING{sixth="Sixth"}
+@STRING{seventh="Seventh"}
+@STRING{eighth="Eighth"}
+@STRING{ninth="Ninth"}
+@STRING{tenth="Tenth"}
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Finally, we have to set up strings for certain ``chapter'' names.
+
+@STRING{section="Section"}
+@STRING{paragraph="Paragraph"}
+@STRING{appendix="Appendix"}
+@STRING{part="Part"}
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+That's all there is to it. Now you can use your new databases with the old
+styles as well.
