+BibArts is a package to administer bibliographical references in footnotes,
+and for creating a bibliography from these references simultaneously;
+it requires a program, for which source and Windows executable are provided.
+(A summary of contents is in English; the full documentation is in German.)
+
+===
+
+BibArts 2.1 is a LaTeX package to assist in making bibliographical features
+common in the arts, and the humanities (history, political science,
+philosophy, etc.). bibarts.sty provides commands for quotation, register
+key words, abbreviations, and especially for a formatted citation of
+literature, journals (periodicals), published documents, and unpublished
+archive documents.
+
+BibArts will also copy the arguments of all those commands into lists for an
+automatically generated appendix. These lists are optionally referring to
+page and footnote numbers in your text (index). BibArts has nothing to do
+with BibTeX, and it does not use any data bank except your own LaTeX text.
+
+The lists are created by bibsort. A file bibsort.exe is part of the package
+( CTAN mirrors > BibArts > bibarts.zip ) and runs on newer Windows systems.
+Other users first have to create a binary file from bibsort.c with their own
+C-compiler. A Unix GNU C-compiler accepted the source, but I was not jet
+able to test that binary on Unix. BibArts 2.1 is tested on Windows with the
+2015/10/01 LaTeX 2e distribution, but most features should even run on 2.09.

+Changes from BibArts versions 1.x (1990s) to versions 2.x:
+
+Version 2.0 was a completely new package with massive extensions. Since,
+bibarts.sty helps to use slanted fonts (italics), and is able to set ibidem
+automatically in footnotes. Therefore, it is now possible to add volume and
+page numbers e.g. to the \vli command (\vli did also exist in 1.x for full
+references to literature), and the new \kli command (shortened references).
+Prepared text elements (captions) are provided in English, French and German.
+
+bibsort is now making the index numbers; BibArts does no more use MakeIndex.
+
+bibarts.sty starts an emulation for 1.3 texts, when you type \makebar, but
+better also keep copies of the package files of a BibArts 1.x, when you did
+write texts with it. BibArts now uses .aux files instead of a .bar file.
+Even if you set \makebar, any changes to commands \schrift, \barschrift, and
+\indschrift will be ignored. \verw and \punctuation do not exist any more;
+see examples for the new commands \frompagesep and \ntsep in bibarts.pdf.
+
+===
+
+Changes from BibArts version 2.0 (2015) to version 2.1:
+
+You now may choose your own order of page and footnote numbers in the index
+(roman--arabic, arabic--roman, etc.). Type bibsort -s2 xxxx for page and
+... -f2 xxxx for footnote numbers. xxxx are permutations of four letters
+out of nRrAas (a=alph, A=Alph, n=arabic, R=Roman, r=roman, s=fnsymbol):
+You always have to set n and s, and to choose R *or* A, and r *or* a. E.g.
+srnR means, that you can use \Roman in your text, but you do not have to.
+
+bibsort is able to evaluate the new fnsymbols (which expand to \TextOrMath).
+
+If bibsort should write into files with a different prefix as the .aux input
+file, you have to use -o <outfile> now. And you may type bibsort <infile>,
+*or* bibsort -i <infile> (e.g., when the input file name begins with '-').
+
+bibarts.sty will be even loaded, when ~":;!?'`<> are active (catcode 13);
+and bibsort is sorting also "z (not only "s) as \ss now; see bibarts.pdf.
+
+bibsort sorts the 'official' $Greek variables$ since version 2.0. To write
+single words in Old Greek, BibArts 2.1 also provides \Alpha [A], \Beta [B],
+\Epsilon [E], \Zeta [Z], \Eta [H=sort=>E], \Iota [I], \Kappa [K], \Mu [M],
+\Nu [N], \Rho [P==>R], \Tau [T], \Chi [X==>Ch], \Omicron [O], \omicron [o].
+
+BibArts 2.0 set \footnotesep to 2ex, whereas 2.1 does *not* change the
+pre-setted value. If you want to continue with the 2.0 distance between two
+footnotes, you will have to type \setlength{\footnotesep}{2ex} in your text.
+
+Some of the prepared text elements (captions) have been modernized. The
+\evkctitlename changed from {Short Titles} to {Shortened References}. And
+\gannouncektitname changed to '... im Folgenden'. To restore the 2.0 def.:
+\renewcommand{\gannouncektitname}{ (\kern 0.015em im folgenden \baupcorr}
