eventually, yes, but for now, your 26 pager is longer than anything I
have, so yes, do give it to me. Here's the thing though --

it has to be in RTF, and citations have to be in the TeX style
\cite{<cite_key>} (actually, as long as they are referred to by
cite_key, it really doesn't matter whether or not they are enclosed in
{} as I can always change the pattern in my program). I would also
need to know the citation-style that you are following. Detailed
instructions on it would be great... for example, how to treat
citations with more than n authors, when to use et al. and when to use
&, how to treat subsequent citations to the same work, etc.

Do send it to me along with the bibliography.
