What is NATBIB?                                 It is a LaTeX (2e, with some support for 2.09) package to act as generalizedinterface for standard and non-standard bibliographic style files (BibTeX).It is intended primarily to produce author-year style citations from a varietyof non-standard .bst outputs; it therefore replaces the special and individualpackages that go along with such .bst files:   apalike.sty    for    apalike.bst et al.   newapa.sty            newapa.bst,    chicago.sty           chicago.bst, named.bst et al.   harvard.sty           agsm.bst, dcu.bst, kluwer.bst et al.   astron.sty            astron.bst, apa.bst, humanbio.bst, et al.   authordate<n>.sty     authordate<n>.bst, aaai-named.bst   The above .bst files may also be used with natbib to produce author-year or numerical citations, so that switching from author-year to numerical is only a matter of selecting an option. The standard .bst files (plain et al) and other numerical citation .bst filesare also understood, but they can produce only numerical citations.Replacement .bst files   plainnat.bst   abbrvnat.bst   unsrtnat.bstare provided to produce the same formatting of the reference list as thestandard equivalent, but allowing both author-year and numerical citations.See my parallel custom-bib system for generating customized bst files.For installation instructions and more details, see README.vxx.Patrick W.
