-The National Research Council (NRC) Research Press provides the

+THIS IS A SLIGHTLY MODIFIED VERSION of the original authors.txt file
+for the NRC's macros, last updated Nov 2002. -- Ch. Thiele
- nrc1.cls is for single-column layouts
- nrc2.cls is for double-column journal layouts
+-----------------
-These are generated via the nrc.ins + nrc.dtx files. See the README
-file for details. The userguide is also available and should be
-downloaded in an appropriate format.
+ "In September 2010, NRC Research Press (formerly part of the
+ National Research Council of Canada) transitioned from NRC and the
+ Federal Government of Canada into an independent not-for-profit
+ organization operating under the name Canadian Science Publishing."
+
+ [from http://www.nrcresearchpress.com/page/about]
+
+
+This file (00-2012-authors.txt) has been minimally adjusted to reflect
+some administrative changes since 2002.
+
+1. All CSP journals now use the 2-column formal of nrc2.cls. The
+ .dtx still generates both nrc1 (1-column) and nrc2 (2-column)
+ class files -- authors should ONLY be using nrc2.cls.
+
+
+ The existing README file can still serve for details on how to
+ generate nrc2.cls via the nrc.ins + nrc.dtx files. The existing
+ userguide is also still valid and should be downloaded in an
+ appropriate format.

+ VERSION OF THE CLASS FILE WITH THIS NEW ONE.

+adjust the footer text, to reflect the organisational change:
+
+ old: (Copyright <year> NRC Canada)
+
+ new: (Published by NRC Research Press)
- THE NEW USERGUIDE SHOULD ALSO BE DOWNLOADED AND PRINTED.
+In order for author-generated files to be posted to the web, the
+updated class file (nrc2.cls) MUST be generated and MUST replace the
+old version.
