Hi Johannes,
in the package bibtex, i think
apalike.tex and apalike.sty should move from docfiles -> runfiles
True enough, thanks. Fixed for tonight, I hope.
It feels a bit strange and pointless to me to use a
another/proprietary format for tex-documentation.
I agree, but I don't have the energy to try to talk to authors about
it. If you or anyone else does (ha :), feel free, by all means.
Since .doc files can, in practice, be read with free software
(LibreOffice etc.), it's not a problem. (Also, in theory, the file
format is "open" now, but that's a different story which you are
probably aware of ...)
Finally, as I'm sure you know, many of the TL files with extension .doc
(like bibtex's), are not Microsoft word-processor documents, but just a
text file that happens to have extension ".doc".
Thanks,
Karl
