This package replaces my earlier footnote package; it had to be renamed as a result of a name clash with a package whose author did not want his package's name changed. (Users of my older package should note that this version no longer depends on patch.tex, which itself is no longer supported due to the withdrawal of the docstrip facilities on which it used to rely.) Though it is supported, my package is only tested under LaTeX of 1995/12/01 and later; please don't bother reporting bugs that appear under earlier versions of LaTeX. Robin Fairbairns rf@cl.cam.ac.uk
