+
+The mciteplus LaTeX package is an enhanced reimplementation of
+Thorsten Ohl's mcite package:
+
+http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mcite/
+
+which provides support for the grouping of multiple citations together
+as is often done in physics journals. An extensive set of features
+provide for other applications such as reference sublisting.
+
+Mciteplus offers the following features, many of which are not available
+with the original mcite:
+
+ 1. Entry punctuation can be controlled by the bibstyle (.bst) as well
+ as the user.
+
+ 2. No "double periods" when an entry already ends with a period
+ (e.g., an abbreviated journal name).
+
+ 3. Support for sublists.
+
+ 4. Support for multiple bibliographies and/or auxiliary files.
+
+ 5. The bibliography sample label width is automatically updated to
+ account for the changes in the numbering due to the grouped entries.
+ Maximum label width information is available to user.
+
+ 6. Compatible with the natbib package. (The bibstyle must support both
+ mciteplus as well as natbib.)
+
+ 7. Compatible with the REVTeX4 class. (The bibstyle must support both
+ mciteplus as well as natbib.)
+
+ 8. Support for the optional argument of \cite[]{}.
+
+ 9. Provides a means to allow users to use almost any cite command via
+ custom command wrappers and the ability to manually disable all
+ automatic internal hooks.
+
+10. Mciteplus compatible sorting bibstyles are possible via the use of a
+ "mcitetail" field in the BibTeX database entries.
+
+
+Please note that existing mcite bibstyles (.bst files) are not compatible
+with mciteplus. They will have to be remodified as explained in the
+mciteplus documentation.
+
+See the mciteplus_doc.pdf user manual for full details.
+
+For helpful tips, answers to frequently asked questions and other support,
+visit the Mciteplus home page at my website:

+
+
+Enjoy!
