+2001-08-21  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : The macro \ST@next needs to be defined when
+	\ST@skippage was called. Therefore I moved the default definition
+	to earlier in the code; just before the \if clause after which it
+	is called; possibly defined by \ST@newpage. This problem was
+	reported by Andrew Dorrell (dorrell@research.canon.com.au).
+
+1999-08-08  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : No longer re-initialize the internal variable
+	\@table@first@head and \@table@last@tail. This made it impossible
+	to have more than one supertabular in the same document with the
+	exact same appearance of the heads and tail without repeatedly
+	redeclaring the firsthead and/or lasttail. Reported by Christian
+	Matuszewski (matuszew at informatik.uni-halle.de).
+
+Fri Nov  7 20:27:27 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : For standard LaTeX we need to change
+	\@@startpbox not \@startpbox. Found by Peter R Wilson
+	(Peter.Wilson@PSS.Boeing.com)
+
+Wed Oct  8 22:35:40 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx: Running the documentation revealed a loop;
+	inside the table tail and head \\ was reset to \@tabularcr instead
+	of to \@@tabularcr (now: \org@tabularcr). First found by Thomas
+	Esser (te at informatik.uni-hannover.de) 
+
+Sat Sep 27 21:35:29 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx: Added the mpsupertabular and mpsupertabular*
+	environments provided by Axel Kielhorn (A.Kielhorn at tu-bs.de);
+	added \noindent in front of all the starts of tabulars and
+	minipages as it seems senseles to have a paragraph indent in front
+	of a large tabularl; fixed a few documentation bugs.
+	The calculation of the available height still missed the case
+	where TeX has already begun the second column.
+
+Thu Sep 18 00:31:55 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : The \tablehead and \tabletail commands reset
+	the command \\; they used \cr for it. That should have been
+	\@tabularcr to properly deal with it's optional argument.
+	Found by Axel Kielhorn (A.Kielhorn at tu-bs.de)
+
+Wed Sep 17 23:59:13 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : In two column mode the parameters that
+	determine how much space is left on the page were not correctly
+	initialised when TeX hasn't yet filled up the first column
+	completely.
+	Found by Jeffrey Spielberg (jspielberg at infinet-software.com)
+
+Tue May 20 23:46:08 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : \shrinkheight didn't shrink the available
+	height for a part of the tabular (as documented); it just *set* it
+	to the value given. Made it perform as documented and added
+	\setSTheight for the former functionality
+	At the end of a supertabular \@table@first@head and
+	\@table@last@tail are undefined; this shoud be done globally.
+	Found by Axel Kielhorn (A.Kielhorn at tu-bs.de)
+
+Sat Apr 12 23:37:33 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : Added \ST@stretchht and \ST@prevht to improve
+	decision process. \estimate@lineht now also computes the
+	difference between a normal line height and when \arraystretch is
+	in effect.
+
+Thu Apr 10 23:33:07 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx: Had to repaire some documentation errors.
+	(found by Thomas Esser (te at informatik.uni-hannover.de))
+
+Wed Apr  9 00:29:36 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : Only the first part of a supertabular can be
+	moved to the next page. Therefore we need to change the definition
+	of \ST@skippage in the middle of processing the supertabular data.
+
+
+Thu Mar  6 21:56:18 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx : Using a tabular environment in the cells of a
+	supertabular gives `interesting' results when the algorithm
+	decides to split the supertabular down the middle of an inner
+	tabular. A number of changes were necessary to make this work.
+	Found by Axel Kielhorn (i0080108 at ws.rz.tu-bs.de)
+
+Thu Feb 20 23:29:18 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx: Renamed \tableformat into \ST@tableformat
+	because the KOPMA-packages also use \tableformat and therefore
+	clashed with babel.
+	Found by Axel Kielhorn (i0080108 at ws.rz.tu-bs.de)
+
+Tue Feb  4 23:50:50 1997  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx (section{The Implementation}): Removed the use
+	of the page height correction for p-columns; the current algorithm
+	no longer needs this correction.
+ 	Fixed the fact that the height of the head and/or tail of a
+	supertabular were counted *twice* when they contain tabular
+	material.
+	Base the decision whether to start a new supertabular on the next
+	page on a calculated minimum height of the table. The minimum is
+	the head, the tail and 1 line of tabular data.
+
+Thu Nov 28 20:38:53 1996  Johannes Braams  (texniek at braams.cistron.nl)
+
+	* supertabular.dtx: Started a cleanup of the code, made source
+	file a full fledged .dtx file
+
+	Old change notes from supertabular.doc are saved here:

+%
+% 05.04.93  - Supertabular didn't work correctly in twocolumn mode.
+% V 3.7a      Rewrote the mechanism for establishing the amount of
+%             space that supertabular can use. This still needs further
+%             thought. The algorithm to compute the places to break
+%             the table is still a bit fragile, especially when p{}
+%             columns are used.
+% 10.07.92  - Still a problem in the combination of supertabular with array.sty
+% V 3.6h      I overlooked the fact that array doesn't use \@tabulacr anymore
+%             and it behaves differently with respect to \@startparbox.
+% 03.07.92  - A problem in the combination of supertabular with array.sty
+% V 3.6g      It can be solved by removing the \string from \def\tableformat
+%             and passing \tableformat expanded to \tabular.
+% 11.02.92  - Bug found by Michael Heissmeier when p{...} is used.
+% V 3.6f      A change in LaTeX.tex didn't find its way into supertabular.
+% 11/03/92 JB: The following change didn't find its way into the
+%              \@sendpbox command. This caused a difference in linespacing
+%              between a supertabular and a normal tabular.
+% \def\@endpbox{\unskip\strut\par\egroup\hfil}
+% % 14 Jan 89: Def of \@endpbox changed from
+% %    \def\@endpbox{\par\vskip\dp\@arstrutbox\egroup\hfil}
+% % so vertical spacing works out right if the last line of a `p' entry
+% % has a descender.
+%
+% 01.08.91  - Take height of tabletail into account when computing the
+% V 3.6e      maximum tableheight; add tolerance on first (partial) page
+%             of the supertabular.
+% 27.06.91  - Cured bug that made the first part of the table one line
+% V 3.6d      shorter than the others. Appeared when supertabular was
+%             used in a twocolumn environment.
+% 26.06.91  - Made \@process@tablecaption a global macro. Previous caption
+% V 3.6c      turned up on a table without one.
+% 27.05.91  - Replaced \clearpage with \newpage to make supertabulars work
+% V 3.6b      in a twocolumn environment. This also prevents all floats
+%             from being printed.
+% 15.02.91  - Because of the check for the use of tablefirsthead the
+% V 3.6a      combination of an \hline in the head and an \hline as the first
+%             thing in the data went wrong. The \futurelet in the definition
+%             of \hline found \fi instead of \hline, so no \doublerulesep
+%             was added.
+%             Also had to modify the way the environments were defined.
+%             The blank space (from the CR after the argument of \supertabular)
+%             has to be gobbled. This can only be done using a construction
+%             like \def\command#1 {...}. So removed the use of \newenvironment
+% 04.02.91  - Added the commands \topcaption, \bottomcaption and \tablecaption
+% V 3.6       to include a caption within the supertabular environment. The
+%             default behaviour is to put the caption before the actual start
+%             of the table.
+%           - Also added \tablefirsthead and \tablelasttail to let the
+%             user specify a different head for the first page of the table
+%             and for consecutive pages as well as different tails for first
+%             pages and the last one. If these commands are not used, the
+%             default behaviour will be to use the value of \tablehead end
+%             \tabletail
+%           - Removed the need for the \noalign{\global\let\\=\@stabularcr}
+%             commands by storing and resetting \@stabularcr
+%
+% 16.10.90  Added the supertabular* environment that was in an earlier
+% V 3.5     version (2.0) by the original author
+%           Reintroduced the version numbering
+%
+% revised by:     Gabriele Kruljac
+%                 kruljac at ds0mpi11   Max-Planck-Institute Stuttgart
+%
+%
+% 06.06.89  Correction: now care is taken of probably existing onecolumn
+%           head (title or tables ...) in twocolumn sty.
+%
+% 10.05.89  Correction: the new \\ definition has been added to the
+%           begin of each `sub'-tabular
+%           Added: algorithm to produce the tabulars in twocolumn style
+%
+% 06.04.89  Correction: put \global statement in \end{supertabular}
+%           into \noalign
+%
+% 22.02.89  Correction: restore the original meaning of \\ with
+%           \end{supertabular}
+%
+% (Feb 89) The whole algorithm has been changed, so that I can use
+%          the most features of a normal tabular:
+%          \\  for new line, including  \\[#1]
+%          p{...} in the preamble ...
+%          Account is taken to \baselinestretch and \arraystretch
+%         -I'm not counting the lines because of too much rounding errors
+%          but instead I add the (estimated) used space in pt.
+%         -The tablehead is taken into this algorithm of proofing, so
+%          I really know how much space the head uses.
+%         -When no p-arg is given I add a variable \midlineheight to
+%          calculate the used space. To calculate \midlineheight I
+%          take the \baselineskip, which is active when the supertabular
+%          starts (\baselineskip includes the \value of \baselinestretch)
+%          and multiply it with \arraystretch.
+%         -When a p-arg is given the text will be stored in a box. So
+%          I know the height I have to add. Also I reduce the maximum
+%          pagesize, so that the last parbox on a page can get up to
+%          max 4 lines without producing an overfull vbox.
+%         -To do so I had to make some additions to LaTeX's tabular
+%          commands. These new commands got a leading `s'.
