CTAN submission - multibib v1.3
by Reinhard Zierke 29 Jan '04

29 Jan '04

----- Forwarded message from Thorsten Hansen ----- I have just uploaded version 1.3 of multibib. -- uploaded file: multibib-v1.3.tar.gz -- uploaded to CTAN node: dante.ctan.org (ftp.dante.de) -- recommended place: /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/multibib -- licensing condition: lppl -- brief summary: The `multibib' package allows to create references to multiple bibliographies within one document. It thus provides a complementary functionality to packages like `bibunits' or `chapterbib', which allow to create one bibliography for multiple, but different parts of the document. Changes to version 1.2 include . compatibility to jurabib and cite 4.0, based on a new general compatibility mechanisms It would be fine if you can sent a short note to comp.text.tex when the new style has been installed. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/multibib (Please note that we lost the contrib/supported and contrib/other directory structure last year.)
