I have added this data item (slightly revised) to the dictionary and made a
few other housekeeping type changes.  The new version has been sent to
Rutgers and should be posted on the Web page in the next little while.  For
the record, here is the audit trail for the changes:

- - - - -
  0.7.21 1995-08-08
;
  Changes (PMDF):
    + Added _citation_author.ordinal and updated examples to reflect this
        addition.
    + Changed _item.mandatory_code for _citation_author.name to 'yes'.
    + First pass at checking the dictionary for spelling - lots of little
        changes in lots of places.
    + Removed many occurrances of 'with with' in definitions.

Keep those card and letters coming folks - we really appreciate the input.
