CTAN submission -- bigfoot bundle for critical edition typesetting

2004-02-23T16:38:02Z

----- Forwarded message from David Kastrup -----
I have uploaded files suffix.dtx, suffix.ins, and README to the
incoming/bigfoot directory.  They are the first of what is supposed
to become a larger batch of files in the bigfoot bundle that is
primordinarily concerned with providing many of the mechanisms needed
for critical edition typesetting.

The other files of the suite are available via CVS in workable state,
but are still undergoing heavy change and are not yet documented, so I
don't want to upload them right now.  Pointers to the CVS are given in
the README (which also explains the current state of affairs).  The
files are supposed to be placed into CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/bigfoot
directory and are licenced under the GPL (version 2 or later).

Sorry that most of the suite is yet available only by CVS.

Here is the README file:
