+mslapa is based on previous APA formats. The changes made to produce the
+mslapa format were originally made by Michael S. Landy in 1995 and are
+public domain. The copyright and licensing of the file as a whole also
+depends on the copyright and licensing of the original code.
+This statement added 2008/11/25 by Clea F. Rees in an attempt to make the
+situation a little clearer following communication with Michael S. Landy.
+
+This directory contains my version of LaTeX and BibTeX style files for a
+respectably close approximation to APA (American Psychological Association)
+citation and reference style. This version is based on things found in the
+attempts of others at an APA-like style (including the files apalike, newapa,
+and apabst). However, I have added several features beyond those to be found
+in the previous styles. I also include an example file to show how the style
+is used. To run off the example, on UNIX you would type something like:
+
+ latex examp ; bibtex examp ; latex examp ; latex examp ; dvips examp
+
+To install this style, you should move `mslapa.bst' to the place your
+installation keeps BibTeX style files and `mslapa.sty' to the place your
+installation keeps LaTeX style files.
+
+If you have requests, bugs, bug fixes, or any other needs, don't hesitate to
+contact me.
