+ LATEST NEWS ABOUT TeXsis
+ ========================
+
+The latest distribution version of TeXsis is in a file with a name
+like TeXsis-2.xx.... where 2.xx is the latest version number.
+More specifically:
+
+ Unix: texsis-2.18.tar.gz
+ Windows: texsis-2.18.zip
+ Mac OS 9: TeXsis-2.18.sea.hqx
+
+We hope to have packages for Mac OS X and Red Hat Linux someday
+and a network CVS server. Stay tuned...
+
+The latest experimental version of TeXsis is in the beta subdirectory
+on the FTP server, ftp://ftp.texsis.org/pub/texsis/beta/ but it is not
+mirrored by CTAN.
+
+ ========================
+
+25 Oct 2003:
+ The TeXsis ftp site has moved again, to it's own domain:
+
+ ftp://ftp.texsis.org/texsis
+
+ http://www.texsis.org/
+
+ [This is currently hosted by noether.vassar.edu.]
+
+
+13 May 2000:
+ The TeXsis ftp site has been moved to
+ ftp://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/pub/texsis/
+ There is now a TeXsis home page, which is at
+ http://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/~myers/texsis/
+
+
+18 December 1997:
+
+ Here is what is new in TeXsis 2.17:
+
+ * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic
+ databases. (Easier to use than in LaTeX!)
+
+ * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is
+ useful for making overhead transparancies. (The style file
+ color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also lets
+ you push/pop the PostScript color stack.)
+
+ * Improvements in the organization of the manual, and slightly updated
+ installation instructions. Updated Makefile.
+
+ * Change in the format of the .aux file. You shouldn't notice
+ this, but it will allow the use of tools and packages that use
+ this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly only available in
+ LaTeX.
+
+ * Form letter macros moved to a style file, Formletr.txs.
+
+ Here is what is NOT in TeXsis, but expected in a later release:
+
+ * Babel support for other languages. We had this working with Babel
+ 3.4, but then the author of Babel made a big revision (probably to
+ update to LaTeX/2e) and now it doesn't quite work. You can try to
+ find the older version of Babel if you really want this.
+
+ * Hypertext: I had hyperTeX html links working, but have not
+ documented it. It seems that work on hyperTeX has either frozen
+ or changed direction with the anticipated arrival of tex2pdf.
+ Once I get a chance to read through the proper documentation and
+ figure out where things are going I will update TeXsis to put in
+ the proper pdf marks.
+
+ * Alternate citation styles: numbered footnotes (rather than
+ endnotes) or citation by the label ("citation key"). It's almost
+ ready, but not quite.
