Understanding natbib tarball contents
I downloaded the contents of the natbib directory from a CTAN mirror. Now I would like to understand what files I have and where to put them in my teTeX tree. Here's what I have: README.1st abbrvnat.bst bibentry.ins natbib.dtx unsrtnat.bst README.v71 bibentry.dtx natbib.drvnatbib.ins plainnat.bst Interestingly, the README files are not readable; they're in some sort of binary format. So, no joy there. I have made the assumption that .bst means bibliographic style (or something with the same intent). So, should I put them in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/? What are the other files; the .dtx, .drv and .ins? Where do they come into the picture? TIA, Rich Dr. Richard B. Shepard, President Applied Ecosystem Services, Inc.
