        ZipIt picks the shortened PC filenames. Please tell me the accepted
abbreviations for the journals, and the filename I need to correct. I'll
correct them.  27 characters or less, preferably 8 or less (for PC users).
If the file is within an archive, I probably will not bother changing the
name. It's too much work (uudecode, open file, change name, uuencode).

        In the interest of speed, I posted combined versions of several of
the styles. They were sumitted as a group. If they can stand alone, I will
break them apart, in time. I have labled such files "stlyes-" to
distinguish them from other types.

        On the otherhand, sometimes an author modifies the reference types.
When this is done, the styles are only useful to that specific set of
references types. "Styles-bio.w.corregendum" is an example of this.
Therefore, I will not break down the file into individual styles.

Any pros and cons to combining the biology and medical directories?
