Latex in Red Hat 7.2 contains a package called footbib - it defines
\footcite in place of \cite (cute).  I found a dvi writeup in the
following directory.

/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/styles/footbib.dvi

If your flavor of Latex is missing it, I suspect a google search on
footbib.sty will bring up a gzip file with the files.

I think that footbib uses the bibliography style defined in your paper, I
am not sure, haven't used it. Nice if it does.

Hope this helps.

\begin{intro}
Just joined the mailing lists last week - have really enjoyed the
discussions so far - just finished PhD here and am starting a PostDoc -
began my computer work on mainframes - worked down to workstations running
unix - was never all that impressed with windoze so I tore it off this
laptop and installed Red Hat.
