The informations on title-page and in footers should be generated from the history of versions automatically. -These requirements cannot be implemented without any effort because the titlepage for instance is processed by \LaTeX\ before the history of versions is even read. +These requirements cannot be implemented without any effort, because the titlepage for instance is processed by \LaTeX\ before the history of versions is even read. All relevant data therefore has to be written to a file and read again before processing the titlepage. As for some applications even the moment when the aux-file is read is too late, an own file with the extension hst is created. The table containing the history of versions needs an own file, too, but this topic will be discussed later. -Another problem is the list of authors. This list cannot be created be simply concatenating the author entries because this would result in duplicate entries. At this time the package sets was born allowing to manage simple sets of text. At every entry in the history of versions, the set of authors is merged with the set of authors given at this entry. The alphabetically sorted set of authors can then be printed wherever one likes---normally on the tile-page. +Another problem is the list of authors.
