Summary description: Major revision to natbib package, contributions from
Arthur Ogawa for REVTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
Arthur Ogawa has made substantial revisions to the natbib package for the American Physical Society and their REVTeX collection. These are mainly to emulate the features of the mcite package of Thorsten Ohl, which is otherwise incompatible with natbib. All this is to allow the upcoming new release of REVTeX to function properly. The new features allow references to be "merged" within the bibliography listing itself. They require special BibTeX style files, provided by the APS. Patrick Daly has made extensive tests to ensure that the regular features of natbib are unchanged.
This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/natbib (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
