-Last updated: 17 Feb 1997

-Welcome to version 1.0t of camel.sty and its friends. Camel is a
-LaTeX2e macro package that will, if all goes according to plan,
-one day drastically simplify the typesetting of citations and
-bibliographies in (potentially) a wide variety of styles and
-formats. This release is a *prototype*, and should be treated
-as ALPHA software; I hope that you will experiment with it and
-send me your comments, but you should not assume that it is
-perfect, and you should not assume that it will not change.
-
-Using Camel, citations are referred to in a way similar to that
-used in `standard BibTeX', but with a number of significant
-enhancements; citation tags can be used to generate subdivided
-bibliographies, separate bibliographies for each subdivision of a
-larger work are supported, as are in-footnote cross-referenced
-citations, bibliographies indexed to the pages where citations to
-the relevant work occur, and much else. This is also the only
-supported LaTeX2e bibliography style that supports legal
-citation styles (using the law.dtx module). The package also
-provides genuinely helpful error messages and an extremely simple
-syntax for adding details like page numbers and the like to
-citation tags.
-
-To use Camel, you will need to fetch camel.dtx and its extractor,
-camel.ins, and law.dtx with its extractor law.ins. You will also
-need to fetch and extract index.dtx/index.ins, the (pre-release)
-index support package for LaTeX2e by David M. Jones, and the
-"keyval" package that can be found on CTAN in latex/packages/graphics.
-To typeset the documentation (by running camel.dtx and law.dtx
-themselves directly through LaTeX), you will need the array.sty
-package. Also, and most important, you will need a BibTeX that
-has a wizard-defined function space of over 7,000. The standard
-BibTeX (with a function space of 3,000) is too small to handle
-the .bst files used by the Camel style modules.
-
-*** Notes on version 1.0s ***
-
-In the past year there have been a few bug fixes in the 1.0r
-code. Since some people are using the package (!), I'm
-releasing these fixes as version 1.0s. The new release
-includes a sample bibtex.ch file, based on jbibtex.ch (NOT
-the usual bibtex.ch --- use only as a reference.)
-
-*** Notes on version 1.0r ***
-
-FOR USERS UPDATING THEIR CAMEL: In this version, I have fixed a
-small bug in the @ARTICLE entry type in law.dtx, and have
-cut out the code used to show case holdings, comments, questions
-and fact patterns (a whip-round asking who wanted to preserve
-these features received no response, so out they went).
-I have also fixed a fatal bug in the code that handles pinpoints
-in parallel citations. Please note that this release calls on
-the new index.sty for LaTeX2e distributed by David Jones as the
-index.dtx package. You will need this new version of index.sty
-to run version 1.0q of Camel. The previous prerelease of that
-file, 'indexdmj.sty' can be deleted from your system. Note that
-you also do need the "keyval" package from CTAN.
-
-NOTE ON FUTURE CHANGES: This version (v1.0r) will is the last
-of its kind --- but this does not mean the end of Camel.
-Rather, it marks a new beginning. As many of you will know,
-Oren Patashnik is at work on an upgrade of BibTeX to
-version 1.0. As things look at present, the new BibTeX will
-make a further rationalization of the structure of the Camel
-code. Not only will this make the editing of styles easier,
-but it will also increase the overall speed of processing
-a document, and reduce the amount of memory required in LaTeX.
-
-On a rough guess, these changes will about double the size of
-the (already large) BibTeX style file for legal citations, and
-render about half of the existing LaTeX style code in Camel
-redundant (sniff, sniff). The inputs --- your documents and
-your bibliographies --- should work equally well with the new-style
-package, but fairness dictates that I at least let folks know
-what's going to happen.
-
-The most immediate effect of these plans is that I will do
-nothing to enhance the existing code until BibTeX 1.0 comes
-out. Given that Oren Patashnik has a large amount of work to
-do on BibTeX, and given the scale of the changes contemplated
-for Camel, this could all take awhile. So there you have it;
-a curious form of `stability'.
-
-Have a nice ride!
