[OLD VERSION deleted]

I announced new versions of cite.sty and overcite.sty recently, but 
niord.shsu.edu seems to be having trouble, and the new versions aren't 
in place yet.  So the balance the old version:

(please, if there are any problems, tell me quickly.)

%  \citen contains the code that parses the list of names, ignoring
%  spaces after commas, writes the aux file \citation, and formats the
%  number list.  \citen can be used by itself to give citation numbers
%  without the other formatting; e.g., "See also ref.~\citen{junk}."

%
%                        CITE.STY
%
%   Modify LaTeX's normal citation mechanism to:
%
%   o Sort citation numbers into ascending order; print non-numbers before
%     numbers.  Compress lists of three or more consecutive numbers to one
%     number range which can be split, with difficulty, after the dash.
%     All numbers should be greater than zero.
%     E.g., if you used to get [7,5,6,?,4,9,8,Einstein,6], then this style
%     will give you [?,Einstein,4-6,6-9].
%
%   o Allow, but strongly discourage, line breaks within a series of
%     citations.  Each number is separated by a comma and a small space.
%     A break at the beginning of an optional note is discouraged also.
%
%   o Always put an interword space before the citation and allow a
%     highpenalty break there (unless you specifically forbid it with ~).
%     E.g.,   Something really stupid \cite{Larry,Curly,Moe}.
%                                    ^-- This space doesn't matter.
%
%   o Ignore spaces after the commas in the parameter list.
%
%   o define \citen to get just the numbers (and write to the aux file)
%     without the brackets and extra formatting.
%
%   Linebreaks are allowed with triple-highpenalties after dashes
%   and commas; these may have to be taken if TeX sees no other
%   viable breakpoints.  If you think citations are being split
%   unnecessarily, try using \sloppy or a sloppypar environment.
%
%   Although each \cite command sorts its numbers, better compression
%   into ranges can usually be achieved by carefully selecting the order
%   of the \bibitem entries, or the order of initial citations when using
%   bibtex.  Having the entries presorted will also save processing time,
%   especially for long lists of numbers.
%
%   See also overcite.sty and drftcite.sty for superscript and draft
%   (draught) mode citations.
%
%   ROBUST!
%
% Version 1991: Ignore spaces after commas in the parameter list. Move most of
% \citen into \@cmpresscites for speed.
% Version 1992: Use \citepunct for commas so it is easier to change.
%
% Version 3.0 (1992):  Rewrite, including sorting.  Make entries like "4th"
% be treated properly as text.
