\ProvidesPackage{fixfoot}[2000/07/10 v0.1b fixed-text footnotes]

% conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.1
% of this license or (at your option) any later version.

%
% This program consists of a package file fixfoot.sty and a test file
% testfix.tex
%
% this is an experimental package that provides fixed footnotes
% only one instance of a fixed footnote will appear on any one page
%
% the package defines a single command, \DeclareFixedFootnote, which
% takes an optional *, and two `ordinary' arguments.
%
% if the optional * is present, the command declared has an \xspace
% imbedded in it, so that spaces following it in running text tend not
% to be lost.
%
% the first ordinary argument is a cs name
% the second ordinary argument is the fixed text of the footnote
%
% e.g., \DeclareFixedFootnote*{\sic}{\emph{sic}}
% \DeclareFixedFootnote{\prooflater}{This theorem will be proved
% later}
%
% the package works by exchanging information with itself via the .aux
% file. just as with labels (and per-page footnote numbers in
% footmisc), the user ordinarily needs to run latex at least twice.
% this package does not (yet) have the ability to warn the user that
% another run of latex is still necessary (changing labels or footnote
% numbers in footmisc \emph{do} thus warn).
