Thus my +unofficial LaTeX package for AGU (art-jgr and art-grl) became not only +superfluous but obsolete. + +However, in looking over the instructions and coding of the official package, +I realized that not only were some imperfections present, but many useful +features of my styles were missing. The most noticeable of these is the means +of using author-year citations with BibTeX in an automated manner. + +The coding imperfections are related to the way in which figure captions and +tables are treated: they must be placed at the end of the document, and if an +appendix is present, then the automatic numbering system will consider them as +appendix figures and tables (numbered A1, A2, ...). To avoid this, explicit +numbers must be given, something that violates the essential principles of a +formatting program like LaTeX. A second implication of this treatment is that +preprints will be missing the figures and tables in the text. In my older +system, neither of these problems occurred. + +BY POPULAR DEMAND, I undertook to write an extension to the official AGU +package, called AGU++ (for AGU doubly-ionized or super-charged, as you +please). It includes my extra features without changing any of the formats of +the original package. The user should prepare his documents in the manner +described by the AGU, except that figures, tables, and plates are to be +included *in the text*. A number of extra commands are available to control +and/or enable the extra features. + +I have now come up with version 1.5 for use with the new release of AGUTeX +(4.0) in August 1996. It turns out that I overlooked some problems, especially +with appendices, and these have been fixed up in version 1.5a (October 1996). +I have also added a notation environment to improve writing lists of notations. + +There is a problem with AGU's planotable when it is continued to another page; +spurious new pages are added apparently arbitrarily. This problem is repaired +in AGU++ version 1.5b, released January 1997. + +Version 1.5c in March 1997 simply changed the manual and sample file +slightly to emphasize the preferred way of treating literature citations. The +BibTeX style file agu.bst (version 2.0) released with several improvements. + +Version 1.5d in April 1997 fixes a bug so that AGUPLUS can be used with +amsmath. Agu.bst (version 2.1) fixes up handling of notes, and no longer +prints the journal `number'. + +Version 1.6 in February 1999 simply changes the copyright notice to be +consistent with the LaTeX Project Public License. + +Versoion 1.6b in August 1999 adds the option paleo to be consistent with +AGUTeX-5.01. + +As in the previous versions, it consists of a class file AGUPLUS.CLS that loads +the standard ARTICLE.CLS and then one of the AGUTEX files. It also fixes up +AGUTEX so that it runs under LaTeX2e. + +In addition, an AGUPLUS.STY file is provided that will run under the old 2.09 +LaTeX. This must be loaded as an option to the ARTICLE style. +WARNING: I no longer test the 2.09 version very much so it could have bugs. + It is not really supported any more. + + +Details on how to use AGUTeX with AGU++ are to be found in the manual +AGUPLUS.TEX. + +The set consists of the files: + +aguplus.cls The LaTeX2e class file +aguplus.sty The LaTeX 2.09 style file (use at own risk!) +aguplus.tex A manual, to be LaTeXed (under AGUTeX and AGU++) +changes.vxx A list of changes since the beginning to version xx +samplus.tex A sample paper +agu.bst A bibliography style file with AGU formats + (Now version 2.1d with some corrections over previous versions) +agufull.bst An alternative to agu.bst which lists ALL authors; agu.bst + limits the number of authors to 9. +geophys.tex A listing of the shorthand journal names in agu.bst +sample.bib A BibTeX data base, for use with samplus.tex + +(The agu.bst and agufull.bst files contains shorthands for journals in the +fields of physics and geophysics. For example, a BibTeX entry of + journal = jgr +is sufficient to specify the journal as JGR, instead of + journal = "J. Geophys. Res." +A list of all such shorthands can be printed by processing shorthnd.tex.) + +NOTE: this package does not contain AGUTeX itself. This is because AGU++ is +still unofficial.
